- Artist DJ Barry was back in Bristol last week painting a cow mural on west side of Cubbers restaurant. He and Jen Gordon originally painted the stenciled work of art in the same spot in 2023. But that painting, part of the “World Cow” herd that aims to spread kindness around the globe, was destroyed in a renovation of the building. So Barry and Gordon were back to recreate the beautiful and thought-provoking piece, which will feature depictions of Earth’s continents when it was completed. Check it out.
