There is no art without a glass: How the traveler decorates coffee cups, earning a living

Burke Armagan, a 22-year-old self-taught artist and traveler from Turkey, draws pictures on empty coffee cups. Burke usually thinks about drawing before starting the trip, but sometimes he is inspired by the streets and buildings, being already in place of his destination. He travels by hitchhiking and often stops overnight in tent camps, so it is necessary to work in harsh conditions and with a time limit. But the artist believes that this is a good experience.Burke sells his creations to make money on travelling. And he also contributes to social responsibility projects, such as providing food and shelter to stray cats and dogs in Turkey.
