Caffeine Crash (2024)

"Caffeine Crash" 
8" x 10" 
Marker and colored pencil on mixed media paper
This surreal piece was created for a local coffee and art festival, illustrating a dreamlike setting featuring french press coffee, caffeinated sailors, and giant hands orchestrating the whole thing. I'd like to think this is a fever dream from one of the sailors after an awful caffeine crash, hence the actual "crash" of the boat they're all in. All the giant arms are the same skin tone of the mini characters in the scene, further tying in that they are the ones who caused this caffeine crash by indulging on a little bit too much coffee!
