Recycled Propaganda is an artist acclaimed for his graphic exploration of a variety of contemporary issues from global history to current affairs. Its sole creative, Izaac Zevalking, is an English-American who was raised bicontinental in a family that highly valued creativity and outside-the-box thinking. This support and lifelong emphasis on ingenuity, coupled with a background in graphic design and art, bred a body of work epitomized by eye-catching visuals with enigmatic social commentary. Known for his often gritty, always thought-provoking, and occasionally shock-inducing imagery, Recycled Propaganda utilizes original digital images conveyed through media ranging from large-scale murals to packs of stickers.
All the imagery is crafted with the intent to “subvert the black and white – fear and fact-based rhetoric that we are so frequently plagued with, into a more eccentric and equivocal one that more accurately reflects our reality.” The art aims to encourage critical thought and nuance in an increasingly apathetic and polarized society. Zevalking has been practicing under the Recycled Propaganda pseudonym since 2013, predominately in the Las Vegas area. In this period he has received a number of accolades, notably the “Best of Award” for street art and the “Mayor’s Urban Design Award” for mural projects completed during the 2020 lockdown. In 2018 he opened his flagship brick-and-mortar gallery in the Las Vegas Arts District. The gallery continues to grow as a platform to expose other artists both established and up-and-coming. In 2025 it won the recognition of “Best Art Galley” in Las Vegas Weekly voted for by the people of Las Vegas.
In an age defined by polarization, cultural anxiety, and digital overload, one artist has built a creative sanctuary in the heart of Las Vegas. Known professionally as Recycled Propaganda, Izaac Zevalking has earned a reputation for bold, graphic interpretations of global history and current affairs. His work straddles the line between protest and poetry, challenging expectations of what art should be in a world that often prefers it polite, palatable, and profitable. Grounded in catharsis, confrontation, and community, Zevalking’s art embodies visual resilience—transforming outrage into art and discomfort into dialogue. Read more…

Izaac Zevalking, an artist who works under the pseudonym Recycled Propaganda and has a gallery in the Arts District by the same name, said that his world has never dulled. “Because I live here, and because of what I do, I live in a very colorful world,” he said.
His conceptual work tends to be more minimalist and based on singular visuals, he said. But both the artwork he creates from found objects and his gallery space boom with color and texture.
Las Vegas, Zevalking said, is “probably the most visually intense place in the entire world.” Read more…
