Who can create without coffee? Scrape the old paint out of an old tube and add thinner. Surely you don’t throw your old tubes away until you have split them open and got everything out of the inside.
Yes… there’s a whole lot of “starvin’ artist” toons… I’ll scatter them here and there.
And it’s a hard call! What good is paint if you’re not inspired? What good is being inspired if you have nothing to paint with? Then again… there’s always cardboard and marker.
You know where my vote lies. Art can be made from anything; discover new media! But it takes coffee to fuel the imagination. Fact: Coffee was invented before fire or the wheel. Also, I just made that up. See? Inspiration! Creativity! Coffee!
Is it only me, or is there a whole book of these “You know you’re a starving artist…” strips just waiting to happen?
‘Tis a quandry. Buy the paint and what’s the point of art-without-coffee. Buy the coffee and you’re all wired up and no paint to go!
What the world needs is a Maxwell House O’ Arts ‘N Coffee!
Go for the paint! Ryan should be good for a bag of coffee! Especially if Randie puts on her “Precious Moments” eyes.

Coffee. Without paint, you can do other creative things. Without coffee, there is no life. 🙂

Oooo, I hear an Americano calling my name!

Yay! I love these so much :)!
Phthalo? How would you pronounce that?
I’d go for the coffee, personally(although my choice caffeine source is pop). It’s no use having paint if you can’t wake up to use it :)!
Meghan: You can hear it pronounced here – just click the “Hear it” link. Apparently, the “f” sound at the beginning is optional *phew* 🙂
Alternate (and presumably easier-to-pronounce) names are: Thalo blue, monestial blue, Winsor blue, monastral blue, heliogen blue, intense blue, Old Holland blue, Rembrandt blue.
Paint – once you’re done with what you’re painting, if it sells, voila – money for coffee AND paint.
Astragali: Thankee! So Phthalo is spelling with a lisp :)?
I like your way of thinking, Zenith… Having your coffee and paint supplies, too!
Astragali… you are truly a source to be reckoned with… you navigate the internet quite well!
Kona… certainly the coffee bean was invented before the wheel.
