When I want a cup of (free!) coffee at work and my favorite barista is there, I illustrate my request. I've drawn giant cups rising like the morning sun over the mountains, a zombie chasing the cup, a cup with a woman diving in to it, a glow in the dark cup, a cup with a sort of Venus on the half shell figure and so on...all on scraps of register tape. I decided I should paint a cup portrait to end the scraps of paper art...but I like the doodles. I think I'll keep the paint cup.
Messing with the black gesso is fun, the colors were fun and coffee cups are fun...so there ya go (Bob's yer uncle, as T. would say)
I took a photo on the diagonal, cropped and rotated it to see what blogger would do with the rotated drawing, yuck. I was hoping the yellow would not show up, it's the default 'there's nothing here' background of psp. The wall is actually light blue so the colors in the top photo are washed out by the flash, but that's better than yuck yellow.

Love it! I think you should keep doodling your requests tho, bet the barista likes it.....
Thanks...it was fun to do, one of those paintings that is easy because I've thought about it so much.
