From the Publisher


Street Art Las Vegas takes into account a new appreciation by the public for the art value of graffiti and street art, particularly with the 2013 debut of Life is Beautiful, the now annual music and art festival in downtown Las Vegas.	William Shea and Patrick Lai spent countless hours researching and photographing street art throughout Las Vegas and surrounding areas, including abandoned mines.	Street Art Las Vegas includes murals and other works by well-known street artists, such as Shepard Fairey and Retna.

From the Author

“With Street Art Las Vegas, we want to continue to show the artistic value and expression of street art against the Las Vegas canvas and create more awareness about this organic art form in a way that hadn’t been captured here before Patrick and I started documenting it.” - William Shea

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Driving in from Interstate 15, freeway exits vie with Magic Mike Live and Celine Dion in all their billboard bodacious-ness. The Pyramids reside a stroll from the Eiffel Tower, while at night, neon signs face off with a light parade of fountains. You may ask, is that all there is? Reputation dies hard, but you suspect there is more, and that may lead to the sidewalks and alleys crisscrossing the City, as described in Street Art Las Vegas. Roughly the size of a Thomas Guide, but way cooler and just as informative, the book covers a lot of ground, with an overview of the street art that sinews through pathways and fronts massive buildings. Las Vegas may be the Oasis, but Shea and Lai point to some fascinating art spots beyond. The big expanse of Henderson offers a huge canvas with less oversight. At Three Kids Mine, an old mill site from 1916 to 1962, the street artists Aware created a Wheel of Misfortune, so beware of landing on “lose job” or “lose home.” In the Mojave Desert near Searchlight, the art collective Indecline transformed a former gold-processing plant into a clarion for public awareness art known as Death Metals. A ghost miner, pneumatic chisel and acetylene cutting torches boldly state that there's more to street art than murals." —Juxtapoz

"Visual Disruption Street Art Las Vegas captures creativity in photographic images. Graffiti has transformed from vandalism to an art genre, including street art, and Las Vegas has become a canvas, sometimes for a fleeting moment. The underground movement morphed into the public eye with styles including abstraction and imagery. Street Art Las Vegas, captures the spirit of the artists through photography. Murals embrace surfaces on Fremont Street calling out to locals and tourists to explore this style. In the 18b district, artworks explode on walls and in alleyways. The small voices that are not heard communicate with expressions of art in the tunnels running underneath the city. Photographers William Shea and Patrick Lai have compiled the photo essay in a beautiful book documenting art that could be lost to the elements or time. The artwork is recorded using 252 high-quality photos from all around the valley and the Life is Beautiful festival. “Originally, I was working on urban photography,” explains Shea. “The photos came out so beautifully, and I realized that nobody has ever written a book about street art in Las Vegas.” Artists bloom in Southern Nevada and reach out through colors, styles, and bold statements. This art will live on even if the buildings are torn down or walls are painted over." —Debbie Hall, Sensi Magazine

"William Shea and Patrick Lai's project Street Art Las Vegas outlines the intricacies of the city’s evolving street art scene. This new compilation stands out for its vibrant photography, which illustrates a city housing uniquely energetic public art." —Vittoria Venzine, Street Art United States
