Head In The Clouds Again

Emcee returns with some new pieces scattered around town, like this beautiful blue woman in the 18b. A wonderful hand-painted piece complete with his signature look of eyes missing their iris and pupils, which to us give his characters a mysterious and ghostly appearance of sorts. Intentional or not, its little touches like this that catch your eye and make his pieces stand out amongst the other artwork in the 18b Arts District. Great stuff!

Crowded Corner

Artists are keeping the corner of 7th and Stewart busy by the looks of these two electrical boxes. The smaller of the two hit by Cyrcle, Aware Indecline, Olsenink, Stab the Princess, DJ EDOC and others. Meanwhile surrounded by tags, older pieces from There She Is and You Killed Me First joined by a new Ill Thinking piece are fading and rotting away slowly in the Las Vegas sun.

Planting Seeds

Shye Bunnysuit floats back into the 18b Arts District on a cloud of smoke with the most adorable pot leaf we've ever seen! A smiling green cutie with anime eyes and Shye's beautiful calligraphic signature. With Nevada moving towards a possible end to marijuana prohibition in 2016, it seems like the old "Don't Gamble With Marijuana" billboard was just a nightmare for this little guy. Well, and for anyone old enough to remember......Wait, what was I saying again?..

Bunny Business

We recently came across this interesting sticker in the alley behind the Beauty Bar, kinda like a fish with bunny ears. (Wow, more bunnies?!??!) After some research, it turns out to be a sticker for a local interior designer firm... Companies that have money for legit advertising but put in effort to try to look and/or appear street are kinda funny. It's almost like we are back in Los Angeles again, yeah that's not a complement.

Target Practice

Shye Bunnysuit returns with some "creative destruction" in a new wheatpaste, a shooting target with colorful bunnies, text and some very real bullet holes courtesy of the artist herself! We found this explanation of her piece on Instagram "Going hunting wabbits..... Because at any time I can choose to eliminate the bunny that I myself created. I am not bound by the bunny, although it has become synonymous with who I am. I can take it or leave it!" Pretty interesting find on 1st Street in the 18b Arts District.

Raw Stencil

We came across this older piece baking downtown on 8th street recently. A spray paint stenciled image of the word RAW and....Who the hell is that?! Tupac and Justin Bieber or Michael Jackson? Someone has drawn a mustache and uni-brow on the face on the left, which isn't helping with identification. Other than those newer additions, it looks like it has been here for a good long while. Artist unknown.

Thinkin' Bout Vegas

New paster from Ill Thinking overlooking downtown Vegas, cool little brain design with "ill" written within the grey (well kinda blue actually) matter. Not sure what the story is here, other than we went to their site and it says "This page is in existence to put my random things. No rhyme, no reason." ......and that is it, nothing else is on there! Looks like someone moved this paster when it was wet too, but didn't take it? Hmmm, weird.
