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......

High Profile

Deep Cover/Gloves has been hitting the Las Vegas streets hard lately, everywhere you go you'll see their character we've dubbed "Darth Duck" and yes we know, horrible name! But dammit, we're not sure what that little guy is! We are just happy to see his face up all over town, and in high profile spots too! Kudos for quality AND quantity, you barely see the two used together in the streets in our opinion. So let's keep it up and step it up to match the level set for us by Deep Cover! Lets go!

Odd Couple

We found this couple stuck outside the parking structure on 7th, and they make quite the pair. Both stickers are helping each artist do the same job, but they are completely different. The black and white "smoking monkey" sticker looks to be a professionally done, meanwhile "Mr. Orange Face" is hand drawn by the artist on a postal slap. Not really saying either is better than the other, just saying. Stickers kind of rule this town quantitywise, always a huge selection of artists, colors and styles to be seen on the streets, signs, etc...

The Red Lady

This image at first glace sprang many thoughts, ideas and questions. But mostly, who was this lady? Could this be the face of the Virgin Mary, or was this the classically anguished beauty of oil paintings from long ago? This stenciled sticker high atop a street light at Charleston and 3rd definitely gives off a religious vibe. Those concerned sad eyes looking solemnly down at the street artists roaming the streets. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.  ....ya know, just in case!

Saving Grace

Ok well its about time to be honest about this location! It's looking pretty bad lately! Somehow amongst the other artists, this building has turned into the beginners school for street art and graffiti. More and more bad toy tags and disconnected phrases show up on this wall everyday, we don't know how or why local artists are letting this continue! Much less the buffman, we can't believe we are actually hoping the buffman pays this spot a visit! The only saving grace is the brightly colored piece of wood left there and it looks like they spent more time on that than these tags.

Motel Vacancy

Down the street from those broken concrete cans from our last post, we find another Gloves/Deep Cover piece pasted outside the Town Lodge Motel. Gloves/Deep Cover has been hitting the streets solidly for a few long months now, we've spotted some older pieces and stickers here and there in the past. But it is good to see them hitting new spots with new pieces. We're still not entirely sure what his character is in their pieces, but we usually call him "Darth Duck", yeah not the best name we've come up with. But hey, ya can't win or guess them all....

Smashed Cans

We aren't even sure where to begin with this post... Looks like some complete asshole thought it would be funny to try to push over one of the concrete spraycans next to the Maser Motel. Only for it to end up shattering when it fell over, they looked to be recently buffed as well (for all that's worth!). We spotted a new Gloves/Deep Cover piece on the broken pieces laying around the site, wonder if someone is hating on Deep Cover? Great! Now we sound like conspiracy theorists!! Well anyway, props to Gloves for the spot and a big fuck you to whomever took it out!
