Creative record

Watermelon cools with melting ice in a chipped enamel basin on old tile. The slices need not match; when everyone returns to the veranda, the basin will naturally become a circle of reaching hands.

When a work stays with you,collect the full piece

Each artwork is offered as a single full-size physical edition. Once collected, it is marked as privately held: no new physical editions are produced, and the image leaves future cup-sticker rotations.

The buyout covers the only full-size physical edition; copyright is not transferred unless separately agreed in writing. Small cup stickers may have circulated before the sale, and the online gallery retains a thumbnail, artwork ID and collection record. Size, material, price and any licensing needs are confirmed in writing before purchase.

How collecting works

Today, your cup brings you an artwork

Every cup deserves to be treated with care—from extraction and temperature to the artwork on the cup. For yourself, it gives an everyday coffee more character; for a friend, it feels like a small gift chosen beyond the drink itself. Artwork follows the current rotation and production availability, so the piece received may vary.
