Unexpected Suprise (Venti Americano, 01.31.2008) by HHS entrant Jon Mali

Maybe it's because I know that I have to wake up four and a half short hours, and because I'm about to embark on a roadtrip wherein I traded all my driving shifts for the promise that I'd be in charge of staying awake with every other driver. Or maybe it's becuase Jon Malis's work is so good, that it is so appealing to me right now.

I love this bottom of the coffee cup abstraction, from the series Stained Grounds. I think he uses a scanner, but I'm not sure. I'm certainly going to think about his process on the road.
