Foam Coffee Cup Drawings by Boey

Drawing on cups is a challenge. Unlike a flat canvas, you have to consider compositions from all around – which is what I spend most of my time doing off the top of my head.

I don’t do initial drafts on the cup. I do that on paper, but even that is rare, most of the time its a straight shot. Part of the fun is not messing up.. and that can happen anytime. sometimes, 95% into the work.

How do I mess up? It’s styrofoam, it charges up easy. Lint can stick to it, so can tiny hairs. when it gets caught on my sharpie, and I am not aware of it, a fine point can suddenly become a broad stroke.

If i mess up, I drink out of it.

Some cups take a few hours, including what feels like a relatively simple one. Some takes months, because I draw something great, and I am afraid of messing it up with the next stroke. So I tend to wait and think for days, or weeks.

I am still constantly refining my strokes. It’s hard when u get one shot, and u cant undo an error, but thats also part of why i enjoy it. I must be some sort of a masochist.

I hope my works can inspire others to think outside the canvas. It’s not always what you draw on, its what you draw – boey

A huge, detailed hand-drawn ink cityscape, based on the view over Bristol in the UK. It’s huge – knocks the socks off you when you see it.

Most places in the South are quite simple. A man has either the temple or the tavern. He can choose his vices, or his sacraments, or both, and in the essence of his struggle there are a million songs.

Markku Lahdesmaki

Markku Lahdesmaki was born in Finland. He was eight years of age when his uncle gave him a simple camera with black-and-white film.

His first exercise with the camera was taking snapshots of his sister and other family members. His second camera was a Hasselblad at the age of 16. His father asked him what he wanted as a birthday present, a Hasselblad camera or a motorbike. He thought that by making money with his camera he could buy a motorbike later.
