# Glamorous Coffee Cup Art This Artist Creates Starbucks Cup Art with Dazzling Mosaic Patterns By Ady Floyd | Published 2015-11-09 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-cup-art References: [boredpanda](http://www.boredpanda.com/i-turn-starbucks-cups-into-art/) & [instagram](https://instagram.com/creative_carrah/) A 19-year-old artist from Ohio is creating mesmerizing [Starbucks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-singleton) cup art using the brand’s plain to-go cups. Each artwork is intricate, detailed and highly colorful. Artist 'Ceerah' creates these unique pieces of art using a colorful array of [Sharpie](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sharpie-studio) markers. Each cup emphasizes the mermaid logo, while expanding the imagery to show more people and a uniquely pattered background. These images bring a new life to the Starbucks logo, while expanding upon the simple paper cup canvas with mosaic designs and paisley detailing. Each cup has a different theme, which is easily distinguishable through the artist’s intentional and highly sophisticated choice of coloring. While the cups each bring a distinctive colorized theme, the collection as a whole carries a cohesive tone. Ceerah displays her Starbucks cup art online through her social media account on [Instagram](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2024-starbucks-blend). ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.4/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 65% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mosaic Art:** Opportunity for artists to explore mosaic designs on unconventional surfaces, like plain to-go cups, for unique and visually striking artwork. - **Brand Collaboration:** Brands can collaborate with artists to create custom designs on their products, offering limited-edition collectibles and creating buzz among consumers. - **Social Media Showcase:** Artists can leverage social media platforms, like Instagram, to reach a wider audience and gain recognition for their unique creations. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art Supplies:** Art supply manufacturers can develop specialized markers or pens tailored for creating intricate designs on unconventional surfaces, catering to the growing trend of mosaic art. - **Coffee Chains:** Coffee chains can collaborate with artists to create exclusive cup designs, encouraging customers to engage with their brand and potentially collect limited-edition cups. - **Social Media Platforms:** Social media platforms can introduce features or algorithms that highlight and promote unique and visually appealing artwork, providing a platform for artists to gain exposure. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Artistic QSR Merch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tim-singleton.md) - [Artistic QSR Merchandise](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/damon-brown.md) - [Latin American-Inspired QSR Merch](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/latest-starbucks-merch.md) - [$1,000 Coffee Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/expensive-coffee.md) - [Whimsical Halloween Drinkware](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/2025-halloween-drinkware.md) - [Barista-Inspired Holiday Cup Spots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drawn-together.md) - [Playful Coffee Merch Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/starbucks-x-mofusand.md) - [Purple Studded Cold Cups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/purple-studded-cold-cup.md) - [Heritage-Inspired Cup Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/new-era-3.md)
