By day, Josh Hara is a artistic executive during an selling agency. By night, he moonlights as a unaccepted Starbucks coffee crater cartoonist, a pretension by that has swirled him into a internet gymnasium of notoriety.

It started 3 years ago, when Hara, who found himself wearied by a blankness of Starbucks’ coffee cups, motionless they would be improved as an artistic canvas. He started to draw, a lot. Soon, he set a idea for himself, that he called #100cups: He would illustrate 100 crater comics in one year. By now, he estimates he’s done some-more than 340 crater comics — which, by a way, he keeps in a storage cylinder in his groundwork in Columbus, Ohio. His collection includes: a reverence to Kim Kardashian “breaking a internet,” a informative amalgam of Voldemort and “Yo Mama” jokes, and an loyalty to a troubling, tellurian widespread of half-caff, non-fat, soy latte addiction.

“A lot of them were formed some-more and some-more within that daily grub of going to Starbucks each day, and a humorous things we would observe as we was there,” he said. “The same things that we were all culturally articulate about.”

His initial animation came by approach of actor Shia LaBeouf.

“The really initial crater was when Shia LaBeouf had put a bag over his conduct that said, ‘I’m not famous anymore,'” Hara said. “So my really initial crater sketch was a crater of coffee with a integrate of eyeholes that said, ‘I’m not coffee anymore.'”

This was a initial coffee crater Hara drew behind in 2014, a year he done 100 coffee crater creations.

Hara customarily cartoons in a evening, after work. He pulls from his personal accumulate of dull Starbucks cups, means to him by a internal Starbucks after a house altered a crater pattern (the latest one done it too formidable to pull on).
