As I see it, latte art on flickr is at least three kinds of art in one. The pour itself (is that what espresso artists call it?), the photography, and the arrangement of the photographs to form a whole collage of wonder and inspiration. The image above is made using flagrant disregard’s flickr toys and the flickr tag “latteart,” and it puts me in mind of possible sewing designs. This set by coffee activist is a complete onscreen quilt just as it is, and reminds me of these photosensitive leaf prints.
King Seven’s work is bold and leafy. Erin of Meet the Press Pot has some incredible art drinks and photos of them in her set. And flickr user systrom makes some lovely star shapes that make me want to rush out to my studio and crochet some rich espresso brown snowflakes.
I’ll be posting a couple times each month with more flickr inspiration in places I’m delighted and perhaps surprised to find it. http://whipup.net/2006/06/21/flickr-ing-espresso-art/
