Art in A Coffee [versi: WEST]

The Cups of Coffee With Amazing Doodle Art

These cappuccinos look almost too good to drink. Pictured on the froth surfaces of the exquisite beverages are carefully produced pictures of well-known film and cartoon characters.

The stunning works – dubbed ‘froth art’ – were created by a manager at the Fremont Coffee Company in Seattle, Washington.

The pictures have now become an internet sensation with coffee fans around the world expressing their amazement with the drinks.

Photographer Chrissy May captured the coffees when she visited the company’s offices earlier this year.

She noticed one of the managers, Christiaan Morris, carefully stirring his latte. After glancing over his shoulder it became clear that he was actually producing detailed illustrations in the froth – albeit temporarily before drinking the coffee.

 

Rather than skim across the surface, Mr Morris plunges one of the long metal rods found in coffee making machines into the drink.

He then twirls it through the liquid until the swirls produced on the surface of the coffee form carefully-planned pictures. Mr Morris’ clever doodles show dozens of animations from popular shows – including Star Wars, Pokemon, Donnie Darko and Batman.

On the surface of one coffee is a depiction of Pikachu – the tiny yellow and red rodent-like creature from the Japanese cartoon Pokemon.

Another cup shows the long-eared time-travelling bunny Frank from the hit-film Donnie Darko.
