VACANCY

the dead motels of las vegas

The roadside motel, what a classic. Las Vegas had some of the most interesting and iconic ones. The unfortunate word is had. These roadside havens are all dead and gone but fortunately several of thier signs were saved, fixed, and placed across the city. David and I wanted to pay tribute by capturing more than the neon sign but the essense of what these were, places to rest, places to party or even places to hide.

Please enjoy this in-depth look into the frames I created to house David Cooper’s original illustrations for VACANCY.

You can go see VACANCY live and in person from March 3rd to April 24th at the Charleston Heights Art Center in Las Vegas.
