Bryan Collins Coffee Girls - reserve one now!

The Coffee Girls by Bryan Collins have been a huge success. Every piece so far is sold. For the rest of this year, Bryan will be making one Coffee Girl each month, named and themed for the month. The first piece, “Fiona February” is sold, but deposits can be made for the remaining 11 pieces that are coming up. Each one measures 5″x7″ and is Prismacolor pencils on cold press illustration board.

If you want to reserve a Coffee Girl for a particular month, please message Bryan at art@bryandrinkscoffee.com. A $25 deposit (through Paypal) will hold the piece for you and you will be guaranteed to own the Coffee Girl for the month of your choice. THESE ARE FIRST COME FIRST SERVE and no month will be duplicated; just one piece per month. The final price for the art by itself is $125 or Bryan will have the piece custom matted and framed with non-glare glass for a total of $175. Payments can be made during the time you are waiting for your piece to be complete, so the farther out your month is, the more time you will have to pay.

Please message before you send a deposit, just to make sure the month you want is still available. Since this series has started in February, January of 2010 will be the last piece. This means March ‘09 through Jan ‘10 are available NOW. Message Bryan NOW if you want your birthday month or some other special month reserved - first come, first serve
