Rachel Brooks Bottle
Blue Shark Vodka is proud to introduce scientific illustration and conservation artist Rachel Brooks as our featured 2024 limited edition label artist. Hailing from the United Kingdom, Brooks currently resides in the Scottish Highlands and combines a degree in zoology, countless dives, and her love for both art and marine life into what she terms ‘artivism,’ combining the terms ‘art’ with ‘activism’. While using art as an essential communication tool to reconnect us to the natural world, she joyfully tells the ocean’s story through her beautiful blend of simple, yet modern marine life drawings and illustrates the connectivity of our natural world – both within itself and within ourselves. Highlighting the weird, the wonderful, and all life in between, it is her hope to connect each and every one of us to the sea and the incredible ecosystem beneath the waves.
Double Shark Bottle
We’re celebrating our 5th anniversary with a stunning limited-edition bottle! This special release features two handblown sharks swimming gracefully inside, symbolizing the elegance and craftsmanship that define Blue Shark Vodka. Available soon at your local liquor store, this collectible item marks five incredible years of exceptional vodka.
WYLAND 2.0
We teamed up with ocean muralist Wyland again to create a limited-edition bottle in 2023. The Wyland 2.0 bottle features an oil-painted scene of a blue shark circling an underwater shipwreck, with proceeds from the 750ml bottle benefiting The Wyland Foundation. This foundation’s mission is to provide educational art and marine science programs that inspire the next generation to explore oceans and embrace conservation. Our first partnership with Wyland in 2020 resulted in a sold-out collector’s bottle, and we’re excited to continue supporting his mission.
BE COLORFUL
The Be Colorful bottle was a limited edition release by Blue Shark Vodka, which featured their signature underwater artwork of a Blue Shark and a Pride flag with the message, “Love” imposed inside. The colorful coral reef at the bottom of the seascape was an eye-catching addition.
THE WYLAND BOTTLE
The Wyland bottle was a limited edition release featuring artwork of a stunning Wyland mural, depicting marine life and promoting ocean conservation. Proceeds from every sale supported The Wyland Foundation, which ran educational programs in communities and schools to raise awareness about the importance of preserving marine life and ocean ecosystems. The foundation’s outreach efforts reached millions of people worldwide and made a significant impact in protecting and conserving our oceans.
BLUE SKY EDITION
Blue Shark Vodka is proud to announce its selection for 2024’s artist-inspired label: Columbia, South Carolina native painter and sculpture artist – Blue Sky. In his early years, Sky studied under Ash Can painter Edmund Yaghjian and was judged “best of show” among 700 other artists in 1964. And in 2000, Sky was awarded the Order of the Palmetto, South Carolina’s highest civilian state honor, for his contributions to the arts—particularly, for painting the state’s first large-scale public mural in 1975. Best known for his larger-than-life installations, Sky’s numerous murals are concentrated throughout South Carolina with other installations in North Carolina, Virginia, Florida, and Michigan.
