The Mantis at Container Park

This is our holiday gift back to the city where it all started,” the couple said in a press release.

Mural by D*Face
Artist: D*Face
This mural initially painted for the 2013 Life is Beautiful festival, depicts a half-skeletal man sitting in despair with a drink in front of him. The thought bubble above his head reads, “I GAVE HER MY HEART AND SHE LEFT ME FOR…”.
The artwork reflects people’s emotions, conjuring nostalgia and pain over lost love. It’s a dark piece but also intriguing- the type of thing you might find yourself staring at for a while to look for its deeper meaning. This mural can be located just 5 minutes from the Neon Museum.
Horned Toad
Artist: ROA
The artwork is in the same style as the artist’s trademark monochrome work, but with a twist: the only color present is the blood shooting from the eye. It is simple yet full of detail and life. This mural is an exceptional sample of how talented artists worldwide are throughout Downtown Vegas.
Call For Kindness
Artist: Pretty Done
A piece of Pretty Done’s new mural titled “A Call For Kindness,” can be seen at 18b The Las Vegas Arts District.
