【推荐2】Art of Coffee

What would you do if you spilled(使洒出)your coffee on your desk? Many of us would probably immediately begin cleaning up the desk. German artist Stefan Kuhnigk, however, thinks differently. He has used coffee stains(污渍) to create(创造) his world of art.

It all started in 2011. One day, Kuhnigk accidentally spilled his coffee on a piece of paper. Instead of(代替;而不是) throwing the paper away, he looked at the coffee stain for a while. The stain seemed to look back at him. The artist picked up his pen and started to draw. Half an hour later, his first coffee monster(怪物) was born.

Since then, Kuhnigk has never put his pen down. Over the last nine years, he has drawn more than 500 monsters. Some of them are lovely. But some have sharp(锋利的) teeth and look evil. Kuhnigk also writes a short story for each of his monsters. Many people like Kuhnigk’s funny creations. They say the monsters and their stories always make them laugh.

So the next time you spill your coffee or something else, don’t immediately clean it up. It’s your chance(机会) to be an artist, too!
