From can to canvas: Las Vegas artist spray paints Vegas Golden Knights



As artists go, Gear Duran is both unconventional and remarkable.
Combining state of the art technology, like digital illustrators and 3-D computer imaging, with more primitive tools like spray cans, he makes still images and ideas come alive.
“So I kind of took that video game, comic book style into the spray paint arena, where I just kind of naturally started doing stuff more character-based,” said Duran.
Much of his work until now, could probably be characterized as avant-garde, even eclectic.
His latest love however, The Vegas Golden Knights.
“Actually, hockey was one of those sports I genuinely liked growing up,” said Duran. “Like no one believed that they (Knights) would make it this far. I mean how long did it take the Capitols to get here? Like 44 years to get here. We got here in how many days?"
Without the help of a single paintbrush Gear “sprays” a determined James Neal and a steadfast Marc Andre Fleury, leaving no detail behind.
The likenesses… uncanny!
“And a lot of people who don’t know any better, they’re like no way, that’s airbrushed. Come on man, my buddy airbrushes. I’m like nah man. And until they actually see it done then they’re a believer,” said Duran.
Like the Golden Knights themselves, Gear has defied critics, proving his creations are the real deal, from can to the canvas, created right here in Las Vegas.

Olivia Culpo Goes Clubbing Dressed Like a Sexy Taxi in a Yellow Minidress and Black Balenciaga Boots

On the heels of releasing her own 13-piece capsule collection with Marled by Reunited Clothing, available exclusively at Revolve, former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo hit MNKY HSE club in London Tuesday night in a look reminiscent of a yellow taxi cab. Making us forget all about Uber, Culpo took to Instagram to show off a sultry canary yellow minidress featuring a single white stripe across the front with black buttons. The dress displayed just a hint of tanned thigh, which gave way to bold, black over-the-knee boots from Balenciaga. The statement-making spandex boot style featured a pointed-toe silhouette and sharp 4-inch heels, which pulled her outfit together seamlessly, adding just the extra oomph it needed to turn heads. She capped off the look with a small, black studded Versace bag. The beauty queen paraded the skintight, thigh-high boots down a flight of stairs in one clip on Instagram, writing “from da plane to da club.” Since...

The 6 Biggest Health Benefits Of Turmeric

The benefits of turmeric go far beyond boosting the flavour of your curry.  Here are some of the biggest (research backed) health perks of this super  spice . 1. It's a natural anti-inflammatory  Inflammation helps the body fight off viruses and repairs damage however, chronic inflammation becomes a problem as the body starts to attack its own tissues, resulting in a huge range of health problems.

Here's What I Learned When I Gave Birth Without Meds, Twice

My first experience giving birth without meds was crazy. I cried, I swore, I yelled, I called for my mom. The second time, thanks to a hypnosis training, I went into a deep relaxation between contractions. To the point that my midwife thought I was sleepingand decided to take a nap while I was on the verge of delivery. While I experienced as much pain the second time as the first, my experience was very different. Instead of anxiously panicking (and wallowing in self-pity) at the thought of the next contraction, I completely stopped resisting. I rested instead of wasting my energy being anxious. It went by easier, smoother and much faster. This isn’t an article about physical pain, though.  I’m not saying you too should go  au naturel  when you give birth or shouldn’t get shots at the dentist (I definitely get numbed up at the dentist).  The problem I’m addressing is that we freak about our emotional pain the way we do about our phy...
