Art and wine have long shared a deep connection—both are crafted with passion, intention, and the desire to evoke emotion. That’s why I was beyond thrilled when Tank Garage Winery reached out to me last year, inviting me to collaborate on a special wine label. The result? "Love and Rockets", a bold and expressive red blend that now carries my artwork, and to my surprise, has been featured in Forbes!
The Artwork Behind Love and RocketsThe label artwork is part of a series of three pieces I created, each depicting girls dressed as astronauts. This series embodies the essence of my work—deeply rooted in street art and graffiti aesthetics, blending elements of technological progress, vintage elements with urban decay.
I wanted to create a visual contrast, merging the futuristic vision of space exploration with a raw, vintage urban feel. The neon tones and calligraphic lettering stand out against the aged, textured background, echoing the themes of conservation, resilience, and the passing of time—all essential aspects of my artistic mojo.
How This Collaboration Came to LifeThe opportunity came when Tank Garage Winery’s CEO reached out, asking if I’d be open to licensing one piece for a limited-edition wine. After exciting back-and-forth discussions, we sealed the collaboration, and I couldn't have been happier. This was my first time working with a winery, and seeing my art on such a unique bottle design was incredibly fulfilling.
From Wine Label to Forbes RecognitionWhen I found out that Forbes selected "Love and Rockets" as one of the best red blend wines for Valentine’s Day 2025, it was a huge and unexpected honor. Having my work not only featured on an exclusive wine label but also recognized on such a prestigious platform is a milestone in my career.
This collaboration with Tank Garage Winery has been an unforgettable experience, and I’m deeply grateful for the opportunity. I hope it’s just the beginning of many more projects that bring art and unexpected mediums together.
If you’re a fan of unique wines and art-driven labels, "Love and Rockets" is a must-try! Cheers to creativity, new ventures, and the beauty of unexpected collaborations.
