The Hateful 8

The battle between wheapaste and aerosol continues downtown with An!lyz Something adding fuel to the fire with these new pieces. We aren't sure if this is a response to the "don't cap real bombers" message that was painted over Drsc0's piece that lasted less than 24 hours, but it sure feels like it when looking at it. These 8 pieces are tiled pretty solidly, which you would think doesn't merit a mention but on the contrary. Tiling seems to be a tough thing with other artists and pieces, so we really appreciate it when art isn't all haphazardly pasted up. It'll be interesting to see how this wall outside the Art Motel develops in the near future, will these new pieces be answered with another capping session? Will it spiral into a art war? I guess we all have to wait and see what'll become of this spot, but we are excited to keep checking its progress.

Los Angeles street brand Dissizit makes an Las Vegas appearance with their Diss Lil Piggy design, sorta. Apparently Dekoe got bummed out recently when his piece got capped by Anilyz Something, so he capped back with this OG Slick piece and what looks like a hastily made tiled piece of his own. His piece had been riding for about 2 months, so its actually not a surprise that it got covered cuz nothing lasts forever. Especially in street art! This type of capping and fighting for space happens daily and even hourly in places with a bigger scene, which leads us to our next question. How would some of these touchy artists fare in bigger cities? You have to work 3 times as hard for space and add people stealing your still wet art off the street and reselling it, or even fistfight in the streets, which does happen way more than you'd think. But in the end, we are glad to see these artists fighting it out cuz this shit gets boring seeing the same art every single week.

No Credit

Another artist joins the group of out of town street artists on the Art Motel exterior. We are fast becoming fans of Anilyz Something with his clean black and white images and clean placement. This newest piece with its gritty look is definitely a switch of styles and still keeps the original ingenuity and look of his artwork. While we are not usually fans of the black and white prints that a lot of artists use now a days, we are however a fan of strong design and Anilyz Something can bring it! Also, we find it kinda funny that while buffing the tags on this wall they buffed Apexer's name and credit right off the building. Uh, oops!

Destiny Number 6

Anilyz Something has been making their presence bigger and bigger on the streets of Las Vegas. We've apparently spotted and posted a few of their pieces without knowing who it was, but the artists tagged themselves so we can give proper due credit. This newest piece was found on the wall on Coolidge and 1st amongst the buildup of shitty tags and crap artwork, this piece definitely stands out amongst others. A clean black and white printed graphic with surrounding text, with Anilyz Something's trademark skull with lightening hitting its brain. Definitely a cool image that makes you think and spawns conversation within a group, which is precisely what the artist wants us to do! Can't wait to see more images from this artist.

Trashy Art

Hanging out behind the Downtown Spaces complex we found a wealth of artwork from multiple artists. But our favorite thing we saw had to be this dumpster covered in tags and pieces but with a discarded makeshift sign stuffed inside. Not sure who or what this was for but it does have a date on it, and it used to be a door! Well we thought it was pretty amusing and seemed like a good photo op and post at the time, maybe the heat got to us......
