Spilt Java Sketches

These Coffee Stain Drawings by Carter Asmann are Clever and Cute

— February 13, 2015 — Art & Design
Artist and photographer Carter Asmann has created a series of coffee stain drawings into which he incorporates the circular markings that add an original twist to his sketches. The drawings at times make particular use of the circles, such as using them as wheels of a motorcycle, where as others remain more abstract.

This simple idea is a clever use of an unorthodox medium and would make a great print ad for a cafe or brand of coffee. Asmann's coffee stain drawings series, prints of which are available for purchase on his website, extends to include a Canon camera, the iconic shot of Jack Nicholson's character breaking through the door in 'The Shining,' the moon, animals and an array of other whimsical objects that will have you doodling during your next coffee break.
