In front of the entrance to Bristol City ground Ashton Gate is 58. Rockin’ Robin.
This is a robin inspired Gromit complete with red plumage at the front.
I like the bird claws for the front feet.
Back in 2015 I attempted to see and photograph all 70 Shaun the Sheeps I managed to get 62. This time I am aiming to get all 67 sculptures. I have created this page to record all the sculptures we find. Download the app to find the sculptures.
The first Gromit in the list is 1. Deerest Gromit who can be found at the UWE Bower Ashton Campus close to Ashton Court.
The design depicts the scenery surrounding the campus, including the lush fields of green and roaming deer.

Guarding, or more likely blocking off, the entrance to the Aardman officers is 32. Oh Bollards!
This sees Feathers McGraw disguised as a traffic bollard.

Over by the SS Great Britain is an excellent black and white Wallace, 31. Wallambard.
He is dressed as the great Victorian engineer, Isambard Kingdom Brunel.

Gromit as a lion? Well 29. Alex the Lion is one of my favourite sculptures this year and I think Gromit works very well as a lion.
Alex the lion is a character from the Madagascar films. I like the mane effect.
Alex can be found just outside the MShed guarding the Harbourside. I was a little surprised that there are three Gromit in and around the MShed and a Wallace in Whapping Wharf. Not quite sure I understand why they grouped these, but then put others in the middle of nowhere! Ah well.

A bright and cheerful Daviwd Bowie themed Wallace is 30. Space Oddi-tea complete with a nice cup of tea.
The sculpture has really captured the essence of David Bowie, I love the orange hair.

Guarding Cass Art on Park Street you can find 5. Stellar.
Representing the darkness of the night sky over Bristol, the black Stellar is covered in planets and rockets, whilst her paws show Bristol landmarks and buildings.
I like how the asteroid belt is used to represent her collar.

In the entrance to the Mshed is 28. Gromitronic a silicon chip themed Gromit.
Covered with wires and flashing lights it looked very impressive.
This was a challenging Gromit to photograph as its background was a window, which was very bright compared to indoors, I had to Snapseed and edit the image accordingly.

In the heart of the MShed in Bristol is Oceans 2: Yellow Sub, an underwater submarine themed Gromit.
What I didn’t realise at the time that this was is connected to 22. Oceans 1: Deep Blue in “we the curious” by two way video cameras.

Standing proud in the centre of the foyer of the Bristol Museum you can find the clockwork inspired 7. A Grand Gromplication
There are clocks and gears across the whole sculpture.
I love the working clock on the nose.
With these clockwork decorations I was reminded both of steampunk but also the clockwork robots from Doctor Who, which the clock bands are also reminiscent of the Calpadi era title sequence.
