#mugtober day 8: The Tall One
A very tall, 16oz mug. Bought it at the same time as my fancy teacup from day 2.

#mugtober day 7: On the Road
Today’s mugtober comes courtesy of the hotel this morning, as I am on the convention road. But hey, complementary breakfast! Can’t beat that.

#mugtober day 6: Blue Glaze
I bought this one on my last day working at Starbucks. I quit that job to focus on my last quarter of undergrad. I’d also been working at both Sbux and the cartoon library at OSU (when it was called the Cartoon Research Library) and I only wanted to work at the library for that last quarter before graduation. This mug is one of my biggest ones, good for those big coffee days.

#mugtober day 5: Jolly Roger
This was another gift during my pirate phase. Thanks, Pirates of the Caribbean. Pulled out the markers for this one, since it’s just black and white.

#mugtober day 4: Princess Aurora
A gift from my mom. The outside of the cup is really pearly and iridescent, which was challenging to render in colored pencil on such soft paper. I love the retro style of the character on this mug a lot– I bet I could find out who the artist was nowadays with the internet.

#mugtober day 3: Autumn leaves.
Bought this at Starbucks while I was working there. I love the design so much, I also bought it in the other colors it was available in– green and blue.

#mugtober day 2: my dainty teacup.
Bought this at a Starbucks in the late winter, February or thereabouts. I was out with some friends. I love the slightly curved shape and the pattern.

#mugtober day 1: Sunflower Mug.
Was in the family cupboard for ages, and I took it with me when I moved out. Bottom of the cup says Flowers, Inc. and a copyright date of 1995.

When I went to Mexico in 2013, I bought this lovely handmade sketchbook in a craft market. I haven’t done anything with it, and I’ve also never done #inktober. So I’m going to do #MUGTOBER: 31 ink and colored pencil drawings of my favorite coffee mugs. :D See you tomorrow for #1, my favorite mug!
