What do you get when you mix a tasty beverage with 6 of today s most prominent artists? You get a tasty beverage in bottles featuring some mind-blowing art and perhaps the best pairing since PB&J.

Mountain Dew, coming off the success of its Green Label Art Volumes 1&2, is about to unveil its latest limited edition series of 6 collectible aluminum bottles adorned with custom designs in Green Label Art: Volume 3. The GLA project takes a fresh approach to package design with its unique artist line-up; the 3rd roster includes Pushead, Nathan Cabrera, Jeff McMillan, Stephen Bliss, UPSO and Claw Money.

To complement the bottles, Green Label Art: Volume 3 will be hosting an under-the-cap sweepstakes on its specially marked 20-oz bottles of Mountain Dew. GLA teamed up with companies WeSC, Adidas, Zoo York, Burton Snowboards, G-Shock and New Era to produce some dope collaborative products featuring the art elements from the Volume 3 contributors.

BNQT.com recently caught up with Jeff McMillan, UPSO and Claw Money to get their thoughts on what it was like to work on this epic project...

BNQT: Was it difficult to translate your art onto a bottle, or have you done something like this before?

Jeff McMillan: Kind of, I'm a painter, so I was concerned about how my art would translate on the bottle. But I think it turned out great. It was cool seeing my art on a bottle-like canvas.

UPSO: Most of my work is 2D so it was a really interesting process trying to imagine how my illustrations would look on the curves of a bottle. I did some mock-ups, but it wasn't until I saw the first 3D digital render from Mountain Dew that I really got a sense of how it would look.

Jeff McMillan

BNQT: None of the GLA bottles look the same, each bottle stands out; what does individuality mean to you?

Jeff McMillan: It means you're the captain of your ship. I think it's important that each bottle looks different. It gives the audience a choice and it gives them a chance to collect all six. Everyone in the group did a kick ass job designing their own bottle.

Claw Money: Well I put the visual in indivisuality. Ha! Individuality is my trademark, ask about Claw Money!

UPSO

BNQT: What does it mean to you to be recognized as one of the six artists chosen to be involved with this project?

UPSO: It's a huge honor. Knowing that my work is going to be viewed by complete strangers across the country is a really surreal feeling.

Claw Money: It was an honor to be asked as the first female artist in the series. There are some serious contenders and I am happy to be part of the gang.

BNQT: Do you "Do the Dew"?

UPSO: Of course! I'm a Diet Dew man myself. :)

Claw Money: Like every second! I'm always Dewing something...

Claw Money

BNQT: Did the infamous neon-yellow color of Mountain Dew influence the color palette of your design?

Jeff McMillan: It did. The color palette I used was in the purple family, the greenish yellow color is the opposite on the color wheel, which makes my Dew-colored moon stand out on my bottle. I like the idea of having a competing color inside the bottle, makes it more of a surprise.

UPSO: Absolutely. While I wanted to make the bottle my own, I wanted the spirit of Mountain Dew to come through in my illustrations. The color is so poppy, how could I not let it influence me?
