Found Bottle

Back in the 18b in the parking lot of the Coolridge building, we found this bottle surrounded by tags and pasters. This unknown artist piece caught our attention, but just barely! With all its colors and paint drips, it almost blends right in with the environment. We wonder if the artist intended to blend in somewhat with the background and for that matter, we wonder who the artist is?! We have seen a few different artists use re-purposed bottles as artwork in the Las Vegas streets, but this one is unsigned and was left without a clue as to whom it was. The glass bottle has been painted white and then splattered with a few different neon colors, then literally topped off with a black spray finish running down the sides. This wall has really been the site of a lot of work being done as of late. From local artists painting huge murals, to a whole other set of artists sneaking over at night and getting up with tags and burners. This addition of a tiny bottle installation and a welcome change from the norm, we enjoy that a few artists are using techniques other than spray paint and/or wheatpaste. Variety, that is what we are talking about and that is thankfully what we get! Can't wait to see what this spot offers up next artwise.

Nothin Here

On our most recent visit to the 18b we actually had a hard time finding new street art,
and our visit before that we watched a family of five buff some long lasting art pieces!!
I really find it hard to believe that in an area named the art district you have rogue families painting over
and peeling off different artists artwork, so this is a call to artists to get off your asses and get the hell up!
These pieces were found outside of Recycled Art in the 18b, a CJ the Kid snail
and a hand painted minimalistic lined drawing of a face with the words "nothin here".  ...pretty much.
