On my daily walks or runs I like to stop off at Bean About Town, a coffee Kiosk on Kentish Town High Street.
The friendly atmosphere and the delicious coffee make it a charming social hub and they are dog friendly!
I suggested to the proprietors a coffee inspired piece of art work in exchange for a fresh daily macchiato.
Happily they agreed, so hey presto to work!
My starting point was to take photos of the location.
I was particularly taken by the sweet little yellow and blue coffee machine – this seemed like the perfect subject matter!
An homage to the coffee machine seemed very apt.
I traced the photo of the coffee machine on to transfer paper, then later scanned it and refined the image using photoshop.
The simplicity of a line drawing with a dash of yellow and blue for the coffee machine aiming to capture the spirit of this sweet enterprise.
The final design was processed on to a decal transfer then fired on to a large tile and installed inside the kiosk.
