"The Shop" mural by FOAR - Providence, Rhode Island - Murals on Waymarking.com

A man's infatuation with coffee is expressed in an exaggerated cartoon-like style mural -- signed FOAR -- on a Wickenden Street café wall in Providence, Rhode Island.

All the elements are outlined with black paint. In the foreground are a floating head, a falling coffee cup, and a floppy forearm flowing fluid from a golden carafe.

The facing forward floating head of a man with flaxen forelocks fits the full height of the left side of the 8 foot tall mural; his chin near the ground and hair up to the fascia. His bright blue eyes, with their undulating black line eyebrows, glare toward the coffee cup and carafe. The wonky arm wraps around from the wall's right side corner and pours coffee from a metallic gold hexagonal decanter. The coffee cascades into the cup and splashes out its opposite edge in a symmetrical fountain towards and directly onto the man's ginormous tongue.

A red brick wall is painted in the mid-ground of the image. Gray skyscrapers, a blue sky with puffy white clouds, and small simplified flying birds create the background.

The mural is painted on a coffee shop called The Shop at 460 Wickenden Street on its exterior east wall which faces Goulding Street.
