Vegas Stripped: Save Me
 
Vegas Stripped: Save Me

Tom “Cruise” is known more as his graffiti name “save me.” At one point he was homeless in the Pacific Northwest, being arrested for tagging trains and walls, but also painting model trains to make money. This trend of painting model trains among graffiti artists is growing in California, where there are even art gallery shows for model trains, but has yet to take hold in Las Vegas. As a legal alternative, it doesn’t halt artists from painting real trains but monetizes their hobby. Some artists take a photo of the real train they painted, then paint the same work on a model train. Like an architect executing his plan, Tom says.

Today he has been commissioned to paint murals, in the Arts District and for the Linq hotel. His life is in far better shape. He has a full time job so he doesn’t have to rely on graffiti for money. But where he is at now, he gives all credit to graffiti, both the good and bad things. The community of artists he met supported him when he was homeless and pushed him to develop his creativity.
