3 years ago I got sick of looking at the that perfectly pristine blank space on my daily cup of Starbucks. So I decided to do something about it.
Since then I have amassed well over 300 cup comics that are sitting in a storage tub in my basement, patiently waiting to be taken on a roving gallery bus tour across the globe (we'll mix in a boat for countries not connected to the United States). Until then, I will keep posting them to my Instagram account until I run out of money to buy coffee, or someone pushes me down and takes my pens away.

This is great except that The British Isles seem to have disappeared off the face of the Earth!!
Hint - should be around the planets left (closed) eye

Load More Replies...From now on, whenever I'll see a dog inside a car with his head out, I'll imagine that he is thinking the same!
I'm sad when my meetings at work get canceled cause it means I've gotta keep answering calls!
And cancel it early too, but not so early that I will have to schedule other things please.
I love how he gave the illusion of the art being on a flat surface instead of a round coffee cup. The illustrations are cute and the lay-out is subliminaly (thats not a word i think) satisfying!
I think you mean 'sublimely,' but you just invented an amazing new combo word! Subliminal and sublime... awesome
Load More Replies...He should make a collage with all of the used cups with comics on them
So, when you use 'me' in a sentence, are you addressing yourself in third person? Just curious... ;)
Load More Replies...Even the cat gets the treats, the coffee will probably still get it. Cats are jerks like that...
Then drink another beverage, but not decaf coffee!!
Load More Replies...Sure there's decaf, brown water's gotta be brown water, and old people need it to warm them up.
Problem is, I'm competing with four other people who are thinking the same thing.
I get stressed when there are like 2 left and i want one but im still not finished and im doing the math about who gets what slice and looking at their faces to see who looks "full"
And on day, coffe will throw you off the boat, saying "Im helping with your life problems! No more life!"
With coffee I'm Queen of the World, without it I'm still the queen, just tired.
Same here. Every morning I stumble into the kitchen. "Beans... Beans!"
Load More Replies...😂😂its not the undead thats gonna be a cattastrophe. It will be an extinction of coffee!
If you don't make it known that you Are talking to me, then you aren't talking To Me.
Can't decide if it's because dogs are colorblind or because he's in a comic. Either way, it's funny.
I hate that person. We get it. You want everyone to know you are "always working"
I had a boss with absolutely no like outside of work. Problem was, he assumed that the rest of us didn't either. He once called me ON MY VACATION about a website I was building.
Load More Replies...It's not so the team will pay attention. It's so we can get it out of the way for Monday.
Awe poor guy. I usually just take a novel and just get coffee and read.
Wait, does it mean the coffee inside?. Or the people of the world?
Load More Replies...Harry Potter and the sorcerers coffee. Harry Potter and the Goblet of coffee. Harry Potter and the half and half coffee. #gonnadiealone
USED TO?!?!! I still have one!!!
Load More Replies...Im going to be brave and put my head above the parapet...Lala land was c**p. It would have bombed in the 50s against those musicals.
Got to agree with you Claire. Was really disappointed after all the hype. Started off promising and fizzled out into just an 'ok' movie.
Load More Replies...Is that obama? *sees 'dont leave me' comment* OH MY NEPTUNE, COME BAACK!!!
The dread of having to perform a whole five days like a champ is terrifying.
News story: Unidentified person found with frost bite clutching cup labeled "Ivan" or "Alan" or "Elon(can't really tell)"... Please contact the police if you have info....
Police contact: Dear policedudez. I, as a Catfish, have now found out who this guys is. Hes most probably Neptune, who turned into a human after drinking covffe.
Load More Replies...YES, I do so give a f**k. F**k yeah! HOLY F**K! This is fuckelicious!
Starbucks cuts down virgin trees to make their 4 BILLION+ non-recyclable cups a year. Why not get a re-usable mug and use other people's throwaways to make your art? Better yet, do pieces that bring attention to this horrendous reality. Over 5 million trees a year will thank you!

At least Joshua is re-using these cups for a better purpose..... Your beef should be with Starbucks (and most other coffee houses) not with Joshua. There are a load of other artists that 're-purpose' throw-away items. Nice Job Joshua - you made me have a good laugh.
Load More Replies...Hey, Josh! I got really excited for a second, 'cause I thought one of my favorite cellists liked to draw. Love your artwork, sense of humor.
I use microns and faber-castell pens
Load More Replies...Nice work there was another post here few weeks back of a dude drawing on cups too!
I like these comics and your artstyle but I don't drink coffee sorry
Love these, Joshua. Do you have more of your comics online somewhere? I'd love to see more.
you really should think about selling these. There are a bunch of sites that let you sell your designs on travel coffee mugs. I know I would be interested in them. :)
