Vegas - Gas Child

Vegas - Gas Child, originally uploaded by S.Vegas.

This project has been a long time in the making, and was put partly on hold for V-TARP but is now hitting the streets at last.

The Gaschild image was inspired originally by an old photo of a Disney branded child's gas mask from WW2. It was a few days later when I moved past the image itself to wonder if this was just a glimpse of what's to come, 65 years ahead of it's time.

As we continue to pollute our environment, at a barely abated rate despite our knowledge of what we are doing, what will we leave for our children? Will the Gaschild return?

We live & die in this town.

So with a crew of five we still managed to get busted by two cops, catching us with everything in our bags, Jerm's paste open next to the piece and my stencil drying against the fence... an then they decided to let us walk away.

Nerve wracking, crazy, very confusing, and totally worth it. Hope you like the shots, and appreciate the piece.



Cheers, Vegas.

We live & die in this town...

Lots of work coming together over the next few days, lots of fun with the Gaschild...
