Torn Away

Another visit to the North side of town reveals a piece that has seen better days. This ripped image of a woman's face looks like the logo of RM "Serene" AKA Skyn3t, if not then someone is ripping him off. No pun intended. We love how it almost looks like the woman is peaking out from behind the torn edges, it kinda makes the piece to us! She has a very sultry look in her eyes as she peaks at you, almost to let you know that she is still a beautiful woman. No matter what scars she has, she is still confidant and definitely lets you know it with one look. The environment and/or some random passerby can sometimes elevate a piece of work to another level simply by touching it or tearing it. It looks to us that someone took the time to pick at both of these and we have to thank them, they made these pieces stand out. We highly doubt that was their intent, but it is what it is now.

Double Barn

We spotted another RM "Serene" AKA Skyn3t piece in North Vegas recently, riding on a utility electrical box on the corner of Lone Mountain and Camino Al Norte. Two identical pasters with images of Don Knotts as Barney Fife from The Andy Griffith Show that has been gladly stuck in syndication since the 70's. With the added words "Freeze Punk!" in the old Famous Monsters of Filmland magazine typeface, later made popular by the punk band The Misfits which kinda seems outta place with the image. No idea how long ago these went up, but the logo top left helps us identify the artist, which is helpful. From the looks of these pieces, they've been there awhile judging by the amount of sun bleaching. Or is this just a printer running out of ink? Either way, its a fairly interesting juxtaposition of image and text. We hardly see any artwork from this artist, and can't help but wonder. Are these leftovers from an artist that used to hit the streets, has this person already moved onto another medium? If we by chance spot a new piece, I guess we'll answer our own question. So, we'll wait and see.     

Unleaded Supreme Leader

This interesting piece from someone called Skyn3t was found on a North Vegas gasoline pump, kind of a weird spot so we had to stop. We found a very familiar image within the world of street art, Kim Jong Un. But with the added flat top hairdo to update his own or this piece? We aren't too sure what they are shooting for to be honest,  But we did find this image curious enough to stop and take and photo. Upon further investigation to see who made this piece we found some familiar images that we've been seeing lately and the artists name RM "Serene". Not really sure what the deal is with the two names but sometimes artists like to keep people just a bit off the scent, hmmm could be right? Well at least we known for certain that we are spotting new artists with new work hitting new spots around town, so lets keep it up people!
