The artist team is introducing you to a creative approach to story-telling — the merge of illustrations, traditional printing and AR (Augmented Reality) , NFC (Near Field Communication) & NFT (Non-Fungible Token) technology.
Since all the art prints were printed individually by hand-pulled screenprint, each print is totally unique with a limited run of 35 pieces released to the public.

Coffee originates from the Arabic word ‘kaweh’ meaning strength or vigor, and it has become one of the world’s most popular drinks nowadays.
Every single coffee bean is undoubtedly the result of the efforts of local farmers. What’s more interesting is that the geographical environment and culture of the region can somehow affect the taste of coffee. As a coffee-lover, we hope to visualise these unseen parts with fine illustration.
There are only 35 edition for each art print, and we never reproduce again due to the high complexity in printing production procedure.
AR, a technology that combines virtual information with the real world. We are honored to work with How&How, a comprehensive creative agency that generates innovative ideas and creates unique designs for events and campaigns by combining with new media technologies. So, there we go these spectacular interactive visual effects.
The central characters, decorative frames as well as background of the coffee showcase their respective characteristics in strong illustrative details, which leave a different impression and yet in perfect harmony. Stories between farmers and coffee beans are cleverly connected with the surreal graphics.
Risograph printing is exclusively spotted color-based, which is similar to screen printing and printmaking. The uniqueness of the color effect, especially the metallic gold, printing on slightly rough paper can better present the texture of the paper. And the ink is made of soy or rice oil that is environmentally friendly.
Risograph printing is a type of duplication-printing technique and printer developed in Japan in the mid 1980’s by the Riso Kaguku Corporation. … For adding different colors and layers, a print can be run through the machine multiple times, each pass adding a new color based on the selected plate and color drum.
The paper itself and the effect of the risograph are likely to change as a result of the making process, storage environment and time. These changes belong to the work itself and give colour to it.
