Head out to the Skate Park of Tampa tomorrow night for their 2nd installment of the 99 bottles on the wall art show. Local and national artists have been invited to convert a bottle or two into a unique work of are. Proceeds from sold bottles will be donated to SPoT’s Boards for Bro’s charity. Last year enough money was raised to give away 250 skateboards to the underprivileged children of the Tampa Bay area

I caught up with Michelle Sawyer a few weeks back and a sneak peak at her bottle in progress.

Michelle keeps a 12 x 12 sketbook with her at all times. The book is full of pencil sketches, thoughts, song lyrics and color samples.

Begining thoughts of her bottle.

The skull evolves in to a pen sketch.

Michelle uses many different mediums.
She it explained that she enjoys letting her art progress as she works. She will jump around from styles and mediums, helping her stear clear from rutts.

Bottle taking shape.

See Michelle’s final product along with about about 100 other bottles tomorrow night.
