I don't normally set out to find IotDs that are related in a week, but sometimes it goes well. Monday was smoke-based art, Tuesday was a load of smoke, now Wednesday is foam-based art... latte foam, that is. Suggested by axlrosen, thanks!

And apparently it's the focus of some sort of competition.

My god some people have way toooooo much time on their hands.
By the time you get to drink the coffee it would be cold. :cool:

Looks good anyway.

That's what the foam is for - insulation!

As a customer, I would feel guilty for drinking my freaking coffee.

I'll have mine with caramel, thank you.

I nominate Bob's dog to win the kampioenschap.

#1 thing I love about art: You can find it anywhere. Coffee cups, subway walls, cigarrette smoke, vacuum cleaner dust, bubble gum, yarn covered hay bales, narrow spots on your FTL"s, etc.

I'm beginning to wonder if this website and the one for the smoke art weren't started by AA members. As I recall there's a lot of smoking and coffee drinking at those meetings! :lol:

This site was featured on Rocketboom recently.

I wonder whether the barista used some contraption to get the dots around the edge spaced so evenly, or whether it was just good old hand-eye coordination.
