Brew Cartoons.. "Coffee Pot Art" at SOE, the best of 2007



Here at Sony, we love our coffee!! And if there's anything we love more than coffee, it's Fresh Coffee! And if there's anything we love more than fresh coffee, It's fresh coffee with art on it, and a time and flavor so you know what it is and how old it is.
(common courtesy)
So you grab a "post it "and a sharpie and ...presto!...
A New Art Form is Born!!
Next thing you know, someone's hung one up on the wall, then another, and before too long, some are neatly gathered, matted, and framed and displayed like "real artwork" in our break room.
Most are done by me and a few select early morning "coffee cohorts" but the odd guest artist, and or programmer efforts are equally collectable, and help round out the show. Below are some of my personal "Faves" and then the framed collections.
These are done from memory and before coffee.
Enjoy!! BradC

Sometimes I'll do a series based on holidays or other... Here's Peppermint Patty from my "Salute to gender challenged cartoon females" week. Also included were "Velma", "Marcy", and "Dora The Explorer." I don't think anyone figured it out.

One of the Very First ones(and re-used)..I love Patrick..he's so silly!!

Nice! You are an innovator in the realm of coffee related artistry. I can't believe even one of my post-its made it in the collection! Rockin' stuff, Brad!
