Fair Is Fair Trade. My, I love coffee so. I'm so happy to get to try and put my love down in inks! Might scoot off to make another cup now. Mmmmmm.
This print is part of a coffee-themed art show opening in June 2008 at Mugshots Coffeehouse in Philadelphia. Sales from the show are benefitting the Peruvian coffee farmer collective that grows their house coffees, in conjunction with Independents Coffee Cooperative. The text below the cup reads: "Fair is fair Justo es justo", a belief and practice that ought to be as ubiquitous as NYC take out cups.
This friendly fellow is a 3-color, all hand printed screenprint with coffee brown, bright blue and orange inks, note: orange overprints brown for a lil extra pizazz! - Strawberryluna
