Promoting coffee with art or promoting art with coffee?

Grinders coffee just participated in a great outdoor stunt experimenting with coffee as art. They used 3,604 cups of coffee to recreate the Mona Lisa in Sydney, Australia. The process took cues from the pointillism style of painting, which uses small dots to create the illusion different shades and colors. The artists treated every cup as a dot of their "painting" and filled each with different amounts of milk to create the variety of shades. Who knew milk could also be white paint?

Thanks Clive for sending the pics!
