Gromits Unleashed


One of the city's most famous residents, Gromit has been the inspiration for a Bristol-wide art project. There are 80 model Gromits around the city, inside and outside buildings. There's even one as far afield as Paddington station. Presumably the Bristol-born dog is making friends with the famous bear from Peru. The Gromit artists include a host of local and international names, with well-known faces including Quentin Blake, Cath Kidston and Raymond Briggs. The whole project is raising money for Wallace and Gromit's Grand Appeal, the Bristol Children's Hospital Charity. Here are a few of the Gromits I've snapped on camera recently.
