We found some new smaller pieces from Recycled Propaganda on 1st in the 18b Arts District the other day.
Known more for being an artist seen at events like First Friday and other events of the like, its a switch to see actual pieces on the street and not some canvas at some store. We love it when artists try to keep their roots in the streets, so its great to see them hitting illegals walls and keeping that shit real. These two pieces are titled Cultural Preservation & Fishing For Likes, pretty standard fare for pseudo political artwork to be honest. While it is hard not to make a Banksy or even Plastic Jesus compression, it is still very much in the same vein of artwork, just a little more diluted then theirs. Using bold colorful images helps them get their message across, while being surrounded by some of the worst graffiti we've ever seen in the 18b or anywhere else! To change the focus for a second, who the fuck is doing all that horrible chicken scratch painting?! Not that 57 piece, we are cool with them but all that shitty text, robot and bad stencils? Just stop whomever you are, you are NOT ready. Not now, maybe not ever!! We hope they buff this wall honestly, and fuck yeah we just said that! Ok back to our post.. With Recycled Propaganda being one of the most prominent artists in Las Vegas, we hope to see them go bigger in the future and keep getting up on illegal walls!
