Message In A Bottle (Detail)

This is the inner wrist and forearm portion of the sleeve. The blue brass knuckles and text (one half of "East Coast") by Jime Litwalk were pre-existing, so I decided that a good way to incorporate them would be to make them into the printing on the outer label of a bottle...with a message inside it from the sailor girl hoping to be rescued. Also shown here are the steering wheel from the ship, and a classic East Coast icon--a lobster trap buoy.
