(Native) American Graffiti
Two weeks ago, when I posted some graffiti in black and white, Joe Giordano commented that he thought it was a “Bold move to display this artwork in B&W but it really works.” Well, I think this piece works even better. In black and white, the artistry is even more obvious. You’re struck by the talent of the artist rather than just the colors. You can more appreciate the texture of the surface these artists deal with. What do you think?

I’m not really sure this was the Mon Ami Gabi Restaurant but it’s my closest guess. I was wandering around several of the Strip properties taking photos. I have to learn to take better notes.

There was a time that Las Vegas was called “Disneyland For Adults”. Now it is merely “Sin City”. Either name is an insult! An insult to Walt Disney, an insult to sin!
