Tampa Armature Works is a year old, and the food hall’s faithful customers are pretty lucky to have a sensational trio of internationally known artists — Birdcap, Sentrock and Lillipore — headed to the Heights for a pop-up live painting session on February 23.

You may have seen Natasha Lillipore’s art as part of the work that companies like Nordstrom (or musicians like Rihanna) have commissioned, Sentrock is a staple in his Chicago scene, and Michael Roy (aka Birdcap) has an off-the-wall, hyper-detailed style that’s reminiscent of long-running Bay area favorite Sebastian Coolidge.

The group will be on the Armature Works’ front lawn starting at 5 p.m., and they’ll paint live until 10 p.m., as part of an event that was just announced on Friday.

We can't wait to see what they cook up.
