Week of David's Intro
We have our third Coffee Doodler: David Weene. Making his debut with three collages is he making a statement about the power of women? They all seem to have wrist watches...
Hot Cuppa Art, Served Fresh™
We try to draw every day — this is our best stuff.
Every day Lily and Michael take a coffee break. Instead of doom-scrolling, we grab Copic markers and a sketchbook and make what we call a coffee doodle.
We’ve made thousands of doodles, and many are available as prints (and sometimes originals). Email us at coffeedoodleart@gmail.com and we’ll get back to you with options and pricing.

I try to live by my alma mater’s motto, “Meliora” (“Ever Better”). This week is about improving on purpose—using human intuition plus a light touch of AI to sharpen the vision without losing the soul.
The machine thinks it can out-art me. Challenge accepted. This week is all side-by-side: hand-drawn originals versus AI takes, with me acting as referee (and occasional color-correcting gremlin).
We fed a bunch of originals into new AI tools and got back surprises—some weird, some gorgeous. This week explores the messy, fascinating overlap between marker-on-paper and machine remix.
Michael PLZNO Silverman was featured in the Somerville Times. This week celebrates the interview, the momentum, and the art that comes from getting a little spark of recognition.
Meet ROBO-MICHAEL: an AI trained on 83 of Michael’s original drawings. It’s a playful experiment in style, remixing, and controlled chaos.
We ran three of this week’s doodles through AI re-drawing tools. The results are part experiment, part spectacle—and a great excuse to argue about originals versus remixes.
We’re rebuilding the Silverware Games sites from the ground up. This week’s doodles explore design paths, new directions, and the fun chaos of “what if?”
A little coffee spill led to a big creative detour—art on the table, off the table, and all the happy accidents in between.
Michael vectorized a chicken to test the eternal claim that digital art is “automatically better.” Spoiler: it’s complicated. This week is a playful tug-of-war between analog charm and clean pixels.
“Red Hat vs Rainbow” is the classic creative dilemma: keep it simple, or go full spectrum. This week explores that tension—minimal versus maximal, calm versus chaos.
These drawings landed right after an epic run-in with the healthcare system—equal parts frustration and relief, turned into ink and color.
This week asks the big question: what is art—and can computers make it? We dig into the line between human intent and machine output (and why the debate gets so heated).
We adopted a cat named Cruella, and she is dangerously cute. This week’s doodles celebrate our new tiny roommate and the creative chaos she inspires.
We visited New Orleans, the Big Easy, for Michael's cousin's wedding celebration. The vibrant culture and energy of the city inspired this week's colorful collection.
February draws to a close, marking the end of the shortest month of the year. This collection reflects on the fleeting nature of time and winter's final days.
Happy Valentine's Week to everyone celebrating love and connection. This romantic collection features hearts, couples, and all the sweetness of the season.
Our Florida vacation brought encounters with monkeys, tropical fish, and plenty of games. This sunny collection captures the playful spirit of our getaway to the Sunshine State.
We initially misinterpreted this week's musical theme, leading to unexpected creative directions. The collection explores rhythm, melody, and the visual language of music.
This week explores constructed cities and urban landscapes from Boston to Springfield. Architectural forms and cityscapes dominate this collection of metropolitan-inspired artwork.
Biblical myths and ancient legends come to life, from Pandora's Box to the Garden of Eden. This collection interprets classic stories through a contemporary artistic lens.
This week showcases creatures from both the real world and fantastical imagination. Dragons, birds, mythical beasts, and everyday animals populate this diverse menagerie.
Real people are depicted through various artistic styles and techniques this week. From portraits to caricatures, we explore the many ways to capture human subjects.
This metatextual week focuses on the stories behind the drawings themselves. The artwork explores the creative process and the narratives that emerge from making art.
Fantastic beasts fill this collection, ranging from domestic animals to extraterrestrial creatures. The familiar and the alien coexist in this imaginative menagerie.
We ventured into the real world and attended an actual party this week. The social experience and people-watching provided fresh inspiration for this lively collection.
This collection is full of sound and fury, but does it signify anything meaningful? We grapple with the existential question of artistic purpose and meaning.
Michael's distinctive PLZNO style becomes more refined and formalized in this collection. The evolution of technique and approach is evident in these polished pieces.
This marks either the end or the beginning of our coffee doodle journey. Thank you for joining us and appreciating these daily creative exercises.
