It’s the Mona Latte: Art Created Using Only Espresso
Monday, November 9th, 2009
“Painting with coffee is a completely enjoyable experience…Most often I paint in the coffee shop immersed in the delicious aroma of freshly ground coffee and sounds of low conversation, steam, and grind, which continue to inspire me as I watch my brush add new dimensions to the painting.” – Karen @ Coffee Creations, artist behind the espresso paintings
I think this is a really cool idea and one I’ve messed around with in the past. I spilled some coffee on a sketch pad in art class back in high school, and hated to see it go to waste. Of course mine was nowhere near as elaborate – mine was a simple coffee cup – but it was a fun and interesting way to use the coffee. I like when people do this sort of thing because it not only looks cool, but it can give others ideas for using coffee, or just being more creative in general. I’m thinking about getting the Starry Night poster for myself.
I originally read about this on a post at Gizmodo.
