Q&A

When did you start your art journey?

I've drawn ever since I can remember. It’s how I feel most comfortable expressing myself, so this illustration came naturally. I studied Fine Arts and specialized in Design, with the goal to work in graphic design studios.

What moment in your life inspired you the most to pursue art?

Whenever I was not working at graphic design studios, I began to consider dedicating myself to illustration and building a portfolio, then sending it everywhere.

Which individuals or aspects of culture influence your work the most?

Many things inspire me, from the movies to my daily walks. I like art, illustration, literature, and music, and take a little from all of these sources.

What drew you to this project with Chamberlain Coffee?

I’m very grateful to the Chamberlain Coffee team. I loved the idea of creating an artistic limited–edition coffee bag.

What was the inspiration behind your limited edition coffee bag design?

I wanted to show a calm, peaceful scene of self-care.

What fuels your creativity and inspires you to create?

Creativity requires practice like any muscle. For me, it’s important to consume culture and seek inspiration from different viewpoints while staying attentive to everything around us. That’s how artists create their own perspective and style.

What is your creative/painting routine? (e.g. do you listen to music? Do you drink coffee?)

When the work is creative and requires research, I must stay very concentrated. For the more technical processes of color and final art, I enjoy listening to podcasts.

How would you describe your art style?

My style is quite natural, with simple compositions and few elements. I am very interested in finding an emotional bond with the audience. I prefer to use a limited color palette, with textures and lines.

What is your go-to beverage order?

Water, everywhere I go!

If you were a Chamberlain Coffee beverage, what would you be?

Without doubt, I'd be a Careless Cat coffee. I need some caffeine in my life, otherwise I get really nervous.

Where can fans follow you/support your art?

I can be followed on instagram @nuria_diaz and on the web via www.nuriadiaz.es [nuriadiaz.es]

Q&A

When did you begin your artistic career?

I started drawing as a child like most people, but don't remember the day. I kept drawing through school and university to make the time go by faster. When I finished university, I only knew how to draw and tried to make a living as an illustrator. My success was a miracle.

What moment in your life inspired you the most
to take up art?

I found a graphic arts school called the Joso in Barcelona, where I felt at home from the first day. Those were incredible years surrounded by good artists, and I learned a lot.

What people or aspects of culture most influence your work?

I'm interested in all personalities, from the most boring guy to an out-of-control madman. I also love films, books, and radio.

What attracted you to this project with Chamberlain Coffee?

I've never drawn anything around coffee before. Since it's a drink I make daily, I thought I could turn it around.

What was the inspiration for the design of your limited edition coffee bag?

Whenever I look for an idea, I try to take the design back to my experiences and create a personal opinion. I haven't always been a coffee drinker since I'm very nervous, but recent sleeping problems require a little caffeine to get me going. I'm very aware of its effects.

What feeds your creativity and inspires you to create?

Walking helps me a lot. I really don't understand why, but ideas just come to me. I don't have a system, but instead think about something until I get an idea that motivates me.

What is your creative/pictorial routine (e.g. do you listen to music? do you drink coffee?)?

Coffee, cigarettes, and music if I already have an idea. If I don't have the idea, I'm quietly spinning and thinking very hard.

How would you describe your artistic style?

Absurd

What is your favorite drink order?

On the rocks and fizzy.

If you were a Chamberlain Coffee drink, what would you be?

I would be a Chamberlain Coffee with lots of toppings, very excessive.

Q&A

When did youstart your art journey?
Pinpointing a specific start date feels weird but, If I must, it was when I started working under the name ‘duhrivative’ in 2017. However, I was drawing and painting long before then, since around the age of 8 years old.

What moment in your life inspired you the most to pursue art?
Thinking back there were several moments, but a cultural breaking point was connecting with Justin Moran at PAPER Magazine to do 100 portraits for PAPER Predictions in 2019. This was a pivotal moment in my personal and professional life, when I decided to abandon all else and commit whole-heartedly to my art.

Which individuals or aspects of culture influence your work the most?
Pop-culture, music, art movements, philosophy, existentialism, dadaism, and mostly my own thoughts.

What drew you to this project with Chamberlain Coffee?
Well, Emma Chamberlain being a boss lady. I also love coffee, and value brands that respect and want to work with contemporary artists, so these things together equal a great co llaboration.

What was the inspiration behind your limited edition coffee bag design?
I wanted to utilize photos of Emma and the product of some sort, though I didn’t know whether it would be mugs or coffee bags. After several iterations, I landed on the idea of Emma standing in a pile of coffee beans, almost appearing like she's in an illustrative wonderland of sorts.

What fuels your creativity and inspires you to create?
Other artists. Art history. My younger self. My sobriety. Queer people.

What is your creative/painting routine? (e.g. do you listen to music? Do you drink coffee?)
I am always rotating at least 4-6 projects at any given time. Regarding the environment around me, I pretty much listen to music or, as of late, watch really dark, murderous shows...but generally listen to music. And yes, coffee. Always drinking coffee.

How would you describe your art style?
I struggle with this, but here are a few tags: Digital Collage. Neo-Expressionist. Post-Pop Portraiture. Digital Pop Surrealism.

What is your go-to beverage order?
Dark Roast Drip Coffee. Nothin’ in it! I want to taste the Earth. And yes, I have to double down with baristas whenever I ask for this. Or Root Beer at restaurants (are we talkin’ just coffee here? lol)

If you were a Chamberlain Coffee beverage, what would you be?
Girl, I saw that Fancy Mouse Espresso Blend. Ya’ll have my address...

I was born in a little town near Turin, in Italy.

Grew up with a “painter-soul”, I work now, as a full time illustrator.

I love to be inspired by the people and the feelings that surround me. Always have my camera with me to capture everyday life and bring it back into my illustrations. I like to invent and draw characters, especially animals and women that are characterized by simple shapes but full of details and by bright and contrasting colors.

My art piece for Chamberlain Coffee represents 3 characters, anthropomorphic dogs, who take a break from their stressed life.

They are surrounded by nature and sipping from a cup, intent to share good vibes and good coffee.

Where are you based?

I’m based in Italy

When did you start your art journey?

I have loved drawing since I was a child and I have developed this passion also thanks to my artistic career. I graduated at Accademia Albertina of Fine Arts in Turin in 2016, and in the same year I attended the Master in editorial illustration “Ars in Fabula” in Macerata.

What moment in your life inspired you the most to pursue art?

When I lived in Turin and attended the academy of fine arts, I painted every day and was surrounded by a lot of art. In the same time I became passionate about illustration and I began to mix painting and illustration, so I decided to dedicate my life being an illustrator.

Which individuals or aspects of culture influence your work the most?

I am fascinated by many painters, Casorati, Rousseau, Tamara de Lempicka ... I also take inspiration from fashion photography, I love Helmut Newton, old films and everything that captures my visual imagination.

What drew you to this project with Chamberlain Coffee?

Chamberlain coffee told me about this project and I fell in love with the visual research of the brand and its products so..here we are.

What was the inspiration behind your limited edition coffee bag design? My idea was to show some characters sipping from a cup into the nature. They look like anthropomorphic dogs taking a pause from their stressed life, intent to share good feeling and good coffee.

What fuels your creativity and inspires you to create?

I lived my all life surrounded by greenery, tall trees and swift rivers, so that is my mean of inspiration.

What is your creative/painting routine?

While I work I like to listen to music and always have a cup of espresso in my hand.

How would you describe your art style?

My art work is characterized by simple shapes but full of details, bright and contrasting colors.

What is your go-to beverage order?

Coffee, green tea, and herbal infusion.

If you were a Chamberlain Coffee beverage, what would you be?

I would be Fancy Mouse Espresso Blend.

Chamberlain-Coffee;
Q&A Joschka Dmitry Wißuwa

Where are you based?

I am based in Germany. Where I live is pretty close to the Netherlands, Belgium and France - which I like because living here is pretty varied.

When did you start your art journey? 

I started it when I first came in touch with paint at the age of two in the kindergarten. Ever since I always liked experimenting with it. When I turned four and knew how to hold a pencil properly I started drawing but with the time I got back to mainly painting.

What moment in your life inspired you the most to pursue art?

It’s difficult to specify this to only one certain moment. I guess to me it’s rather an inner feeling to keep on painting and creating. Maybe it’s also the charm of improving skills and looking where it’s going in the future. I wonder what my art might look like in a year or two and I am keen to then look back at where I’ve developed from - and how.

Which individuals or aspects of culture influence your work the most?

 I am obsessed with painters like Egon Schiele, Matisse, Paul Gaugin, Max Beckmann and many more. Either it’s their way to coordinate and set colors, or further painting techniques. I am also influenced by music - sometimes the sound or the lyrics leave pictures in my head that I then partly include in my paintings. The same goes for other artistic impressions such as architecture, design, film etc.

What drew you to this project with Chamberlain Coffee?

I just really like the fact of artist being supported. I feel like most people don’t understand how much effort, work and time we put into one single piece so being able to show my work beyond social media, where everything seems so simple, is amazing. I highly appreciate that! On top I love that this project allows us to do what we as individuals like to give us the best stage possible!

What was your the inspiration behind your limited edition coffee bag design?

What I wanted to create was an intimate coffee moment. I therefore was inspired by daydreams and how wonderful it sometimes is to loose yourself in such. In my painting, coffee plays an important role  for exactly that because it´s its flavour that makes the figure dream such as the coffee fruits that nestle around the figures finger. The painting stands between a surrealist abstraction of ornaments and reality to portray exactly that.

What fuels your creativity and inspires you to create?

Other artists, museums, music, fashion, peoples faces and the whole process of creating, painting planning that really calms me - as strenuous it can be sometimes.

What is your creative routine?

It depends. Sometimes I just randomly have a finished painting idea in my head and convince myself like, yeah you NEED to paint that!“  This happens wherever and whenever. Then I need to sketch it down ASAP to not forget what I saw in my imagination.  Before I begin I scroll through books, Pinterest and saved instagram posts to help me define my vision with painting-techniques, colors, the figures facial features, the clothing and so on. Then I start painting.

 Not as often but sometimes I just start painting and then figure out during the process what I want to do and what it’s supposed to look like.

 While painting I either watch things on my laptop or listen to music.

How would you describe your art style?

I would describe my artstyle as decorative and aesthetically thought-through. I would even admit thatit has something obscure and pessimistic no matter how bright and saturated the colors are but I like it that way. When I was younger it was the completeopposite so maybe I just grew away from it - but who knows where I will go next.

What is your go-to beverage order?

Always something withcaffeine! Depending on the weather it’s either an ice cold cola or a hotblack coffee without milk orsugar that I sip away in two shots.

If you were a Chamberlain Coffee beverage what would you be?

The early bird I think. I enjoy waking up in the morning when I have things to get done - even when I am tired. On top: going outside in the morning has something so relaxing to it. No matter where you’re going.

The whole world and weather seems to be more calming than in the afternoon. Facing a new day is cool and that usually begins with the early birds singing. I love it.

Where can fans follow you/support your art?

I love using Instagram even though the algorithm is annoying. You can either follow me there and/or on TikTok where I try post more of my art in process. On both platforms my
username is: @joschkadmitrywiszuwa

Where are you based?

Hi! My name is Jihad, I’m a 20-year-old illustrator, living in Lebanon.

When did you start your art journey?

I have always been into art to the point I don’t remember myself not drawing and painting every now and then.

What moment in your life inspired you the most to pursue art?

I grew up in a very supportive household even though i ruined the walls in my room with random doodles and sketches. Until my 10th birthday, when my dad got me one of those very fancy art supplies box with all the art mediums you could ever imagine. Since then I have not stopped drawing and exploring my art style.

Which individuals or aspects of culture influence your work the most?

I have always been interested in Tim Burton’s movies and the exaggeration of expressions and characters and backgrounds.

I also find myself searching “unique faces” or “exaggerated one point of view photography” on Pinterest and getting inspiration from them.

What drew you to this project with Chamberlain Coffee?

Working with Chamberlain Coffee was a dream come true. Other than the fact that i absolutely love the aesthetic of the brand, they gave me the freedom to work on something that represents and is inspired by me as an artist in a way or another.

What was the inspiration behind your limited edition coffee bag design?

My illustration exhibits an exaggerated point of view. As you can see I drew a person’s lower half, at the door step grabbing groceries. On the ground there’s a broken mason jar with a splatter of coffee everywhere. You can only imagine the expressions on the persons face and that’s the fun part

What fuels your creativity and inspires you to create?

I do not mean to sound cliché but everything and everyone around me!

What is your creative/painting routine? (e.g. do you listen to music? Do you drink coffee?)

I usually listen to podcasts and my “arting” playlist while I’m drawing but I also, weirdly enough, watch crime documentaries too !

How would you describe your art style?

This artwork represents me; I am a very clumsy messy person (the coffee mess) which can be a lot sometimes but I can also manage to keep it all together and ground myself (the tight grip around the grocery bags) I have been experimenting with art styles and mediums for so long but I finally found mine. I would say my art is amplified. I use contrast in colors a lot too. Everyone who knows me says that my art looks like me in a way and i am still trying to
figure out how


What is your go-to beverage order?

Ironically I do not drink coffee, or I like to believe that maybe i have not found my “go to” yet. I do drink raspberry matcha occasionally though so that is a plus!


If you were a Chamberlain Coffee beverage, what would you be?

If I were a Chamberlain Coffee beverage I would be matcha! It’s just something about that green color that is just so cool and laid back.

Where can fans follow you/support your art?

If you want to check more of my art you can find me on Instagram @jihadsillustration !

Where are you based?

- I am from the Philippines.

When did you start your art journey?
- I’ve been making artworks using different art mediums since 2017, but in 2020, during the first lockdown, I had more time to explore with the digital art medium. That’s when I developed my art style and love for digital illustration and animation.

What moment in your life inspired you the most to pursue art?
- My interest in art started before studying Fine Arts at the University, but it grew immensely throughout my college journey as I got more exposed to different art mediums and art styles which made my knowledge and love for art in general get deeper.

Which individuals or aspects of culture influence your work the most?
- The inspirations of my artworks always come from films and the characters or people that give me some kind of impact. I read somewhere that “every movie, song, story, or person has a best part” and I always keep that in mind everytime I watch movies, listen to songs, or meet people, and I think that it is part of my “artist's gut” that ideas and art concepts of those “best parts” will immediately come to my mind and it leads me into making a visualization of my ideas.

What drew you to this project with Chamberlain Coffee?
- I’ve always loved Emma and everything she does. In fact, I have done a few animations of Emma in the past wherein I have included the brand or products of the brand in each of my artwork leading to my being involved in this special project.

What was the inspiration behind your limited edition coffee bag design?
- Basically, the playful and fun aesthetic of the brand is the main inspiration of the artwork design. I wanted to show Emma’s love for coffee in this artwork — I made a perspective of Emma getting a jar of coffee inside the refrigerator. Using the perspective, even with all the elements in this artwork, the focused subject is a jar of Chamberlain coffee. To

add a little fun, I included the characters of the brand showing their individual characteristics and I thought it’s a great idea to see Emma with these characters.

What fuels your creativity and inspires you to create?
- As an artist, there are some points where I get into a creative slump, and what I do to get out of it and to inspire me to create is by listening to Emma’s motivational podcast, “Anything Goes” and by watching my comfort films. The beauty of film cinematography inspires my works a lot, not only in illustrations, but also in photography.

What is your creative/painting routine? (e.g. do you listen to music? Do you drink coffee?)
- Watching films through picture-in-picture at the corner of my laptop screen while I illustrate is the usual setting when I create. Though sometimes it could be distracting, I’ll just listen to music or podcasts while I snack on some fruits and chips.

How would you describe your art style?
- I think what best describes my art style is that it is “satire” or “comfortably unsettling”. It shows realism, yet it is also whimsical. My art style showcases the characters’ personalities that are almost entirely evident at first sight because of the use of exaggerated features that, in a way, makes the subject interesting, unique, and aesthetically pleasing.

What is your go-to beverage order?
- A hot or cold chocolate drink is my go-to beverage order. It’s a great drink for mornings and nights, for the cold weather or hot weather.

If you were a Chamberlain Coffee beverage, what would you be?
- I would definitely be a ‘Night Owl Blend’. I find myself more creative and productive during late nights. I tend to stay awake until the wee hours as I usually get ideas and also get in the mood to create during those times.

Where can fans follow you/support your art?
- Instagram is my favorite way of showing my artworks and connecting with people from around the world. My instagram page is @jusslim_.
