Mystery artist etches drawings on residents' milk bottles
A mystery artist has been removing empty milk bottles from doorsteps and then returning them having etched elaborate pictures on them.
A mystery artist, dubbed a 'bottle Banksy', has been delivering amazing artwork to the doorsteps of suburbia.
The artist takes the milk bottle empties and returns them embossed with detailed pictures.
Jackie Dimock, 55, from Kingswinford said: "When I picked it up I saw there was this amazing picture on it. It's like a Bottle Banksy"
The artist, dubbed "Pic-glasso" by locals around Stourbridge, West Mids, scratches out frescos of farmyard scenes and animals.
Now some are so keen to find out the identity of the artist they are staying up all night.
Jackie Dimock, 55, from nearby Kingswinford, discovered a bottle on her doorstep on Monday morning.
She said: "I was putting out the empties and I noticed there was an extra one on the doorstep.
"When I picked it up I saw there was this amazing picture on it. The milkman came to collect the bottles, but I didn't want to give him the one with the picture on it, I'm going to keep it.
"Who knows, it might be worth something one day."
The etchings have got the town talking about who could be behind them.
Dawn Jones, 81, from Stourbridge, said she has received one drawing and was hoping to get another one. She said: "I am collecting them for my grandchildren, they are marvellous."
The artist first struck a few weeks ago. Bosses at Dairy Crest, which supplies the Stourbridge and Wolverhampton area, said they were as keen as locals to find the person responsible.
A spokesman said: "This seems to be a nice idea."
