Weekend Features: Painting with coffee by Red

It’s An Art World

Red (Hong Yi) is an artist in Shanghai who creates images with anything but the conventional paint + brush technique. Instead she utilizes everyday objects such as rocks, ketchup, milk, salt, and seeds, etc. has her medium for creation. In her most recent work, she uses coffee and a coffee cup to create an image of Taiwanese musician, Jay Chou.

Jakarta or Bust Charity Auction

This March, Jakarta or Bust is doing a Rickshaw Run; racing an auto rickshaw over 1800 miles (3000km) of South East Asian jungle, islands, and ocean. The race, which will include some 25 other rickshaw-driving teams of adventure-loving crazy people, is organized by The Adventurists, and — the best part — it’s all for charity!

"Charlotte" by Audrey Kawasaki. Pic provided by David G.

“For my first custom framed print, I wanted something that truly matched the piece since I’m going to be seeing it for a long, long time. The details on the frame – the color, the texture of the wood, the matting, the illusion of decay – complements Kawasaki’s painting perfectly. Really happy about the result and proud to share it with the world. -David G.”
