Bong Spirit



Bong Vodka is the exciting vodka company that's making waves all over the nation with its unique bottle shape and name. As part of a new promotional campaign called Spirit of the Brand, Bong Vodka has commissioned four talented up-and-coming artists to create artwork that will be integrated directly onto the bottle. The results are nothing short of breath-taking, and the bottles themselves will most certainly become collectors items. Aritsts includes OGI (Ogigraphics.com), YOSOH (yosoh.com), Jason Thielke (jasonthielke.com), Matthew Curry (ninjacruise.net) and many more.

David Ellis




Brooklyn-based artist David Ellis creates work that is influenced by hip-hop culture and traditional elements of graffiti. The artist moved to New York to work in the music video business.
Ellis' work continues to interpret music and sound. His paintings are often recorded in a form of digital time-lapse animation Ellis calls motion painting.
Ellis' paintings are frequently improvised. He works directly on the walls of spaces that remain open to the public during installation and shares the making of the work with viewers. The experience is much like a band playing in front of a passing audience.
Ellis further explores sound with kinetic installations that produce analogue sequences in rhythm.
