BIG UPS: Shot Tower Coffee scores Steve Powers prints

POSTED: Wednesday, August 24, 2011, 10:08 AM

Lovers of beautiful art and beautiful, beautiful coffee, heads-up: Bella Vista's Shot Tower Coffee, which has become a beacon for espresso snobs and foam-design admirers since its December 2010 opening, announced this week its brand-new quarterly artist series. Four times a year, owners Mat Derago and Mariel Freeman will debut a limited-edition print from an artist whose love of aesthetic beauty matches his or her caffeine addiction.

Way to start things off with a bang: First up is Steve "ESPO" Powers, the Philly-born man behind the crazy-amazing mural project "A Love Letter for You," which you can see from the El (or read about in this article, or check out on the cover of last year's CP Primer magazine).

Created in the style of "A Love Letter for You," Power's print is jammed with bright signage — "Never Say Ever," among them — backgrounded by blue, blue sky. It'd look damn good in our kitchen, actually.

If you want to snag a copy (there are only 60, so hustle!), swing by Shot Tower on Saturday; don't be surprised if you see Powers at the bar, nursing a mean latte.

Print sale, Sat., Aug. 27, 3 p.m., Shot Tower Coffee, 524 Christian St., shottowercoffee.com.
