William Shea and Patrick Lai have collaborated once again on a follow-up photo documentary showcasing the Las Vegas street art and graffiti scene. They aim to create awareness of the untapped potential and hidden merits that street art and graffiti offer to the art community. The book is an 8 x 10 photography collection that spans over 200 pages and boasts over 200 high-quality full-color images. The project was completed over several years and features images from all corners of the valley, including the Life is Beautiful Festival. The revised updated edition will include updated, select images and the inclusion of new murals and installations not seen in the previous version. The introduction of a new editorial process provided improvements and rewrites to the previous text, making it an even more comprehensive guide to street art in Las Vegas. The introduction was composed by the late arts writer and documentarian, Ed Fuentes. The updated version will be released by recently acquired Canadian publisher Third Rail Publications.
