If you like coffee as much as I do and you're looking for something fun to do in May this year, why not visit the UK's first ever coffee festival, held in Bath on 15th/16th May.
One of my aims with this project was to force myself to use all the scary bits in my art software. I'd tried the dreaded 3d revolve thing before with odd and unexpected results so I thought I'd have another go. My thoughts had turned to chocolate (as they do - fairly regularly!) and I thought I'd make a chocolate easter coffee pot. About as useful as a chocolate teapot!!
This is amazing - it looks as though you could just pick it up. Yum. Has it got those little chocolate covered coffee beans inside? - Oh yes and yesterdays was awesome as well.
Your imagination is working overtime. How do you think up something completely new each day, and produce it as a finished illustration? I wish these were in the shops... coffee and chocolate go so well together ...mmmmmmm.
Is it coffee-flavoured chocolate? mmmm...that would be good! ooh, only 7 pots to go - are you getting excited?! About to vote in your 'what goes best with coffee'. Will have to go with 'a little biscuit'. However, I must add that my actual favourite thing to go with coffee is shortbread - the proper sort - you know, the thick, buttery, sugary, preferably shaped like a fan or thistle-type! And not 'little' - it would be a big slab. I am in awe that you have done 93 of these!!!!
In November 2009 comedian Josie Long put out a challenge as part of the London Word Festival - to do one thing every day for one hundred days with the aim of becoming a better person at the end of it. You can find out more here. Haikus, press-ups, kissing and more.. the projects were as varied as the people who took part. This blog is my contribution - my aim was to be a better artist after 100 days.
This blog is my contribution to the 'One Hundred Days to Make Me a Better Person' project instigated by Josie Long: http://www.hundreddays.net/ My aim is to take a simple object that is essential in my daily life and use it as the basis of a daily drawing. I chose my coffee pot and each day I will create a piece of art in as many different styles as I can, that incorporates my cafetiere. Hopefully this will encourage me to experiment and be a better artist at the end of it.
What is the perfect thing to have with a cup of coffee?
Where would you most like to be drinking a cup of coffee
