About This Painting:
She’s having a moment right now, she’s your best friend’s new signature drink, she’s the Espresso Martini. There’s something so satisfying and fun about drinking out of martini or coupe glass. I feel like I’m an adult (which I am but never quite feel?!) and living in New York (why, I have no idea!) and in an episode of Sex and the City (which I have barely even watched?!) None of it makes sense but the vibes are there. I wanted this painting to feel the same: classy and sleek. Like it hangs over a bar cart in Manhattan. I took a lot of time working on that glass stem. I hope you love it.

About the Coffee Date Collection:
This painting is part of a very special collaboration with my best friend, Maggie Van de Loo of Coffee With Maggie. Maggie is a talented creator and coffee connoisseur who invents new drink recipes all the time, including the ones featured in this collection. She is also one of my favorite people to have a coffee date with :)

This collection has been a long time coming! The very first coffee poster I ever created was for Maggie in 2018 and it featured all of her favorite LA-area coffee shop to-go cups. Since then, I’ve painted multiple custom coffee posters and we’ve received lots of requests to make prints, and here we are!

Thirsty?
