Stripes® Convenience Stores Celebrates Día de los Muertos with a New Release of Two Limited-Edition 2016 Commemorative Cups Designed by Texas Artists
2016 Commemorative Cups Available at all Stripes Stores
Stripes Stores and Coca-Cola partnership
Cups Designed by Local Artists from South Texas
(Dallas, Texas) October 19, 2016 – Stripes® Convenience Stores is celebrating Día de los Muertos, a Mexican holiday that takes place between October 31 - November 2, with a release of two new limited-edition Dia de los Muertos commemorative cups available in Stripes Stores now. Stripes Stores and Coca-Cola® partnered together for their Second Annual Dia de los Muertos Commemorative Cups which are exclusive to Stripes Stores throughout Texas, New Mexico and Oklahoma. The cups are priced at $2.99, and include the first fill free.
Each cup was created by two Texas artists; Elisa Kyle Gilp, a 30-year-old South Texas native who specializes in Día de los Muertos art, and 25-year-old Christian Lain, a professional tattoo artist who lives in Corpus Christi.
Both artists returned from last year to design the new 2016 commemorative cups. The artists were commissioned by Stripes Stores and Coca-Cola in 2015 to launch their first-ever project. Each artist was given the creative freedom to design their own interpretation of the Companies’ commemorative Día de Los Muertos cups. Gilp painted an original 16” by 20” piece and drew her inspiration from her South Texas roots using acrylic paint. Lain used watercolors to design his 8 ½” by 11” original pulling from the culture of calling South Texas his home. Each artist was asked to incorporate the Stripes Stores and Coca-Cola logo on their design.
Gilp designed the bright green cup with the “Dia de los Muertos” couple and Lain designed the red tumbler with a traditional calavera design.
