I have coffee stains on my table. Sometimes I get real frisky with my cup and I get stains on my shirt too. It sucks.

Most artists I know have some kinds of stains around their workspace; be it coffee, tea or plain old food. It’s not nice or clean, not classy at all, but it’s almost impossible to avoid. You see, most artists work all the time and rather than stopping they keep working while they eat and drink too. They drink their coffees, eat their pizzas and cereals absent-mindedly and leave the dishes next to them while they continue working. It’s hard to break away from the zone, especially if it’s going well. And if it’s not going that well: well, then there’s even more reason to ignore the dishes.

I love coffee, I’ve mentioned this once or twice, but I don’t just love any kind of coffee. I love coffee like a little princess would and I only drink the best stuff that I can find. But Silver, it’s all just coffee, they’re all the same? There’s a taste difference in beans and then there’s an emotional difference. Knowing your coffee, its history and intent and knowing how to manipulate that to be the best tasting and drinking experience can make a dull everyday coffee moment something special, something you can embrace for the rest of your life.

I believe that rituals and daily habits pretty much define how happy you are.
As part of our rituals, Kaija makes all of my coffees and every time it feels like I’m getting a birthday present. You see, coffee is all kinds of special to me.

We still have Run Freak Run art prints available! They are printed beautiful archival paper with the highest quality of printing and they come signed by Kaija! We don’t know when we’ll do a reprint, so get yours before it’s too late! We are eternally grateful and love all who do so!

Some time ago we were interviewed for Super Excite! It’s a digital magazine entirely focused on comic books and they dedicated a lot of space for just having a discussion with us. The publication is finally out and worth checking it out!

So, grab a good mug of freshly grinded premium coffee, get some art for your walls and read an interview while listening to ANDRA – The rain don’t talk to me no more and a have a great, magnificent weekend like no other!

Love, Silver
