Sci-Finds

We spotted these pieces from the Los Angeles to Las Vegas transplant street art couple You Killed Me First and There She Is still riding behind a fence in the 18b Arts District. One thing about these two is that you can always count on seeing them together, no matter what their artwork is and no matter where it is. They are a team within the world of street art but also a real couple in real life, and they make it work to their advantage by hitting multiple spots with pieces that use the same theme. This time (to make complete liars out of us) they use completely different inspirations for their artwork, and with a little research we find There She Is inspired to do a crazy hand painted mashup up of silent movie star Clara Bow and The Borg from Star Trek! Next to her is You Killed Me First with a Ouija planchette that incorporates the game board and a message to "Get Up, Stay Up", stained brown and with what looks like burns around the edges. These pieces have been there for awhile from what we can tell, and look to be lasting long. We hope to see more combined efforts of these two artists in the Las Vegas streets, and soon.
