MUD, East Village
MUD is a cafe and restaurant in the East Village. I drew it for Coffee Shops of New York, my project to draw every coffee shop in the city.

I'm on a mission to draw every coffee shop in New York.
I’ve always loved coffee - but what I love even more is the ritual of sipping it in New York’s endlessly inspiring cafés. This city’s coffee culture is unlike anywhere else in the world. Every shop has its own character, its own community - friends catching up, first dates unfolding, writers lost in thought, creators building their dreams.
I earned my BFA from the School of Visual Arts here in New York, before working at DreamWorks Animation in Los Angeles, Magic Leap in Miami, and later starting my own venture-backed tech company. Yet no matter where I went, I felt pulled back to this city - the place that feels like home and fuels my creativity like nowhere else.
This book is my love letter to New York, told through drawings of its coffee shops, one by one. Each copy is a signed, limited-edition pre-order - and once they’re gone, they won’t be reprinted at this price.
Reserve yours today and join me on my mission to capture every café in the greatest city in the world.
