3rd Street Revolution
August 4, 2008
What I appreciate about 3rd Street Revolution Gallery is the owners’ stance against war and oppression. Ezequiel Lee Orona (Lee) and Juan Ybarra (John). the artists/owners make no bones about their political stance. “Fin War”- End War! Art in gallery represents owners’ stance on war & oppression.
"EL FIN"- End War: Wall represents owners' stance in war & oppression
These two are the nicest guys you’d ever want to meet. They are both very imaginative sculptors and painters. The work in the gallery is vivacious and original. These are pieces to wake you up. Art is best used to enliven your space–to add colors, dimension, and opinion. I like art to have a point of view. I want it to take me into the artist’s mind and to challenge me to see something that I have never thought to notice.
A very powerful, moving wall collection
One of the walls in the gallery- bright and vibrate.
Go to 3rd Street Revolution Gallery and take some time on each piece. You will be educated and transformed. Peace.

Cob4lt Blu3
August 4, 2008
Cob4lt Blu3 on the corner of 3rd St and Imperial is one of my favorite galleries in town. It is situated in a very fortunate corner space with two large windows that allow you to see the world inside. The lights are left on after sundown so that you can experience the gallery night and day, even when it’s closed.
- Eddie’s Place: Cob4lt Blu3 Gallery
The artist/owner is Ed Dominguez, whom I know as “Eddie.” Eddie’s art is like his personality–joyous and thoroughly alive. His love of Las Vegas (a very singular city) shines through. The paintings are colorful and larger than life. People are stretched tall and buildings are inviting and embracing. Eddie has the power to make you look again at life. Maybe the way he sees it is really how life is–fantastic!

I personally feel blessed to be around Eddie. He is always full of positive energy. He needs to create the way a bee needs to make honey. Thus, he is prolific and is always looking forward to his next creation. I expect a great future for Cob4lt Blu4. This is a must see gallery in Las Vegas.

Click here to see Neon Venus at the Nascar Cafe, Las Vegas
We like to play on the Strip in Las Vegas because the people there are in the mood for fun. Las Vegas is the only town in America which is actually built on having a good time and forgetting all the rest of the nonsense. Neon Venus has played at the Imperial Palace, Planet Hollywood, The Harley Davidson Café and now the Sahara. We always play our originals–songs from our three CD’s. We love the entertainment aspect of Las Vegas and we have met so many great people here. We plan on staying here for the foreseeable future and want to add all we can to the entertainment and arts of this cool city.
