Captured on the road to Las Vegas, this quirky roadside sign stands bold against the azure skies of West Coast America. 

This photograph forms part of Richard Heeps' Dream in Colour Series from his sold out book Man's Ruin. Shot over seven years, the series captures archetypal American scenes like Drag Racing, Burlesque and Rockabilly Culture. The exhibition of Man's Ruin toured in over twenty museums and galleries in the UK & Europe.

Richard's long held interest in American pop culture, the saturated colours of some of its most famous cities, and the American lifestyle, leads him to continually explore the country's 50 states. When he is not travelling through America, Richard works from his studio in Cambridge.
