You have probably seen pictures of illustrations on take-out coffee cups floating around social media and the Internet, but Instagram user @sleevebucks is moving from the disposable mug to Starbucks sleeves.
The unnamed artist transforms the brand's cardboard caffeinated mermaid into other figures from pop culture, including Elsa from Frozen, various Harry Potter characters and even the Phantom of the Opera. On the doodler's tumblr you can also see the drawings on the Starbucks sleeves have clever names and captions, from Voldemort: The Original Flat White to Marilyn Monroast and Antonio Granderas.
Around since November 2014, the cheerful Instagram account is certainly worth browsing, whether you are a literally obsessed with Starbucks, appreciate a fun doodle or are a pop culture enthusiast.
