Korean artist transforms Starbucks coffee cups into art

When I look at my Starbucks coffee cup, I see a smiling lady against a green circle background. When Korean artist Kim Soo Min looks at that same cup, he thinks outside the circle (or box)--he thinks art. 

 

Check out Kim's variations of the Starbucks siren, and watch this familiar face turn into something different, new, and fun every time!

Instead of a siren, here's a "Thobucks". 




Beatles on coffee--literally. 



Off to steal yo coffee. 



Facebook-themed coffee? LIKE!



If the Starbucks siren starred in a K-Drama.



Your Starbucks coffee cup is now a lamp. Genius.



"I'll never let go Jack.


Excuse me sir, I think you're on the wrong cup. 



I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Starbucks




Starbucks on its way to work. 



Starbucks at work.



Starbucks... got work done?! 




Kim has even uploaded a couple of YouTube videos displaying his mastery of the Starbucks cup art. In the clip provided below, Kim shows that he starts off by whiting out the original art around the siren's face before resuming to give her something new to do. This time, it looks like she's doing the "Gangnam Style"



Recently, Kim has even moved on to other paper cup canvases, such as that of Hollys Coffee.





I don't know about you guys, but I'll never be satisfied with my plain coffee cups ever again.
