I thought this was a really interesting project... and visually, the results were pretty stunning.
For five months, Gwyneth Leech has occupied the Prow in the Flatiron Building in NYC, creating art out of used coffee cups. She has drawn on over 700 cups and captured the interest of passersby and visitors, some of whom brought her their (clean!), used coffee cups to draw on, becoming part of the exhibit.
The coffee cups were hung, kind of mobile-like, in a way that's visually arresting. Check out the photos here: http://www.gwynethsfullbrew.com/p/cup-exhibition_9095.html
Linking up to Sunday Sketches with another quick illustration for my nephew.
