Marilyn Monroe Portrait Made With 5000 Coffees

 
 
 





Artists have created a massive image of Marilyn Monroe using more than 5,000 cups of coffee. The team used the different shades of lattes, long blacks and flat whites to produced the caffeine-filled artwork at a coffee festival in Sydney. Different drinks were carefully lined up in a 80 x 65 cup grid, to recreate the classic image of the Some Like It Hot star, in surprisingly good detail. Organisers say they used milk and (where possible) coffee which was on its expiry date to produce the image, to cut down on wastage. WHOA!
