Backward Gaze

Drsc0 meets up with some older LaRON Emcee and D*Face pieces on the electrical box on Fremont and 8th. The third of his trilogy of pieces put up on his latest mission around town, we really enjoy this image. A black and white print of a topless woman, with her back exposed and what looks like a yellow material wrapped around her bottom half. Finished off with bright red lips and an over the shoulder gaze to catch you while you stare at her nakedness. It feels like such a delicate image next to the rips and tears from the Xerox skull guys leftover pieces, which aren't helping anyone's artwork besides his own. We like how all the different styles are coming together in this one location, from hand painted to tags to graphic design. This one spot has it covered, and we look forward to new pieces joining in on this Fremont Street location.

Defaced

Retuning to the corner of Fremont and 8th, to where D*Face left us this piece from this years Life Is Beautiful festival. This little guy is still hanging in there ok and still broke and hell, but seriously what is the deal with the skulls image capping LaRON Emcee? We've been seeing this artist's stuff everywhere lately, apparently their "art" is covering artwork that isn't their own with a crappy print of a skull. We aren't one to really talk shit on other artwork, well actually that is all we do, but! This is pretty damn ridiculous, why someone would cover a handpainted piece is beyond us. Our guess is that they are trying to make some sorta artistic point, but then again are we just elevating it to a higher level of art theory or something? Well anyway, there are plenty of pieces covered now with these skulls and I'm sure we'll see more.

Buggley Eyes

A new day and another new face from LaRON Emcee, with an addition from another person. We love this new shorter haired character with the added cloud in her hair, it almost looks like a tiara from afar. But we're not sure where people get off adding bullshit to peoples art, like these wonky eyes some idiot penciled in. We are very much into LaRON's pupiless eyeballs in his artwork, so this is kind of a bummer to see this piece defaced. Cuz lets me honest, if it isn't your artwork and you add to it. You are defacing and that is as bad as capping, can someone please catch these "artists" and teach them the rules of the street. Apparently someone needs to be schooled, and soon! Either way LaRON's artwork can stand on its own, he doesn't need your help. 

Sun Scars

LaRON Emcee is back in the 18b with another hand painted wheatpaste piece. Found on the Coolidge and 1st wall above a Milk The Bunny piece that coincidentally has the very same pink in the ears as LaRON's character, and you know we just love a successful unintentional collab like that. A beautiful woman with pink hair with floating clouds, with an added speech bubble that includes a peace sign, a heart and what looks like a Basquiat crown. LaRON's pieces are always very striking on first glance in the streets, with those big pupiless eyes, we are always drawn to them immediately. We especially love the third artist in this unintentional collab, The Sun! Or is the artist (or someone) speeding the aging process by making tears in the piece? Not too sure, but we love how it looks.

Applause

More artwork continues to pop up everyday at Coolidge and 1st, its LaRON Emcee this time with another one of his hand painted pieces. In our time living here we've seen Las Vegas artists really step it up and put in a lot of time with their street art. Some artists in bigger cities like use a lot of prints and/or printed material instead of hand painted pieces, but you can always use the argument that they are getting up in more spots and in a bigger place. Very true and we aren't trying to say one in better than the other by any means, and each person is of course his own artist. It is just one more thing we had to get used to in moving to Vegas, we applaud the time and effort that LaRon puts into his pieces and his love for his craft shows in his work.

Stuck Up Posse

LaRON Emcee's collection of Gary Everywhere on the corner of Coolidge and 1st has had some new recruits added. Obviously not from LaRON's collection, this is a whole new set of people adding their mark. A couple of tag stickers, some new faces and a Jim Jones pisstake on the old Andre the Giant Has a Posse sticker. This little spot was completely dead for a bit til LaRON hit it, now its back strong! Awesome!

Crowded Corner

LaRON Emcee brings his collection of Gary Everywhere stickers to the 18b Arts District. We're not sure of the exact identities of these guys or what his Gary Everywhere series actually means, but we do know that these are some damn solid handpainted images on these stickers. We are more familiar with LaRON's brightly painted pupiless eyed characters, but this just shows us a whole new side of his artwork. Pretty cool!

Emcee Girl

Another LaRon Emcee hand painted piece spotted from his most recent run through the 18b Arts District.
A beautiful scarlet lipped woman with short black hair with his recurring iris and pupil-less eyes on the corner of Boulder and 1st. Smoke escaping her open mouth with a detailed group of people drawn next to her left eye, just springs forth a wealth of questions and possibles of who they are and what they might stand for. Great stuff!
