October edition II with Laura Bee
Can you tell me a little bit about your October coffee cup?
October is the spookiest month of the year and I'm, of course, a huge fan of halloween. I definitely wanted to create something creepy. With that in mind, I gravitated towards the idea of a man eating venus fly trap and had this concept in my mind for a couple of weeks. All the while, conversations surrounding Harvey Weinstein, sexual assault and the hashtag #metoo were swarming the internet. It made me think; what if we put this man eating venus fly trap to good use? And here we are... Queen Givesnofucks with misogynist eating venus fly traps flowing from her hair. If only getting rid of misogynists were so easy.
It's unforgivable how many people are effected by sexual assault and this issue isn't limited to gender. Here's a good resource for anyone looking for help.

How do you drink your coffee?
Black and always hot, even in the blistering heat of NY summer. Maybe I've lost my mind, or maybe I know that after a 5 minute walk from the coffee shop, I'll be at my very well air conditioned studio thats's sometimes cold.
What is your favourite coffee shop?
Smith Canteen in my Brooklyn neighborhood, Carroll Gardens. They have a drink called a thunderbolt that is homemade lemonade with a shot of espresso. It's incredible!
Any exciting projects coming up? *whispers* it's a secret...
