Chair Constellations

Coffee + drawing my favorite cafe chairs at the Harvard Art Museum...

I unabashedly love Starbucks. Say what you will, but that $3.64 cup makes me happy.

I find Starbucks oddly comforting. It is consistent in the best possible way. Starbucks in Cambridge is the same as Starbucks in Reykjavik.

I didn't really drink coffee until college. In my junior year when I was trying to work my way through a particularly dense art history course in Postmodernism, I would take all my texts and notebooks and fold myself up into a corner table and read for hours. Anyone who has read Jacques Lecan or Michel Foucault knows you need at least one espresso to even get through the first paragraph.

Now it is a habit to go and work or read or draw or escape. I like to melt into the corner and just watch the world.

I've decided to post a drawing a day for the month of October. It's a personal challenge of sorts.

So on the inaugural morning I give you...a conversation between a tea and coffee drinker.
