The blog’s author is a man named Franz from Luxemborg who is getting his masters in physics in London. I’m not sure what kind of brain could power great design and physics at the same time, so I will have to credit the fact that he seems to enjoy cardigans:

A post popped up on FudgeGraphics this morning titled “Artists’ Tea & Coffee Appreciation Group.”

Sweet Moses this is fantastic. An excerpt from the post:

“I’m a self-diagnosed tea and coffee addict and I am not ashamed about it. I know that many artists, be they designers, musicians, photographers or other got the same problem. Without our daily dose of cafeine [sic] we just don’t function. In order not to be alone with that burden I decided to open a flickr group where I invite you all to post your “I-drink-tea/coffee-self-portraits“. I believe this is a nice way to get to know each other a bit better. After all we’re a big and happy family.”

Let’s look at that last line again:

“After all we’re a big and happy family.”

One more time:

“After all we’re a big and happy family.”

Oh, family. A theme coursing deep through my veins during 2008. Throw coffee and art into the mix, and I melt like butter in the palm of your hot, sweaty hand.

This Flickr group seems to have been tailored for a very large segment of the Everyday Joe’s family. Now Franz is a part of the family. I just birthed him into it…whether he knows it or not.

His name is Luke Flowers

Luke lives in Colorado Springs. He is a very, very good artist. He created the art for our gift cards, the art for our punch cards, the poster and tickets for our first 90/10 Benefit, and posters for several other concerts. He’s also done album and poster artwork for Jars Of Clay, Trace Bundy, Braddigan, Newcomers Home, The Blackthorn Project, and Jonah Werner among others. He’s family. I’d give him studio space in the building if he would move here. He was featured on “Love, Everyday Joe’s- Vol. 1: No More Gloom.”

When he’s not playing with his kids or drawing pictures for a living, he makes music that is quite listenable…both as a solo artist and with his side project, SameName. New albums were recently released on both fronts, and Mr. Flowers has been kind enough to send a couple of songs to the Appendix for your listening pleasure. Have a listen, then buy the albums.
