Why is this blog pink? Well, we are pink kind of people. Why Coffee Banana? We don't know. It's a strange name for an art blog belonging to two would-be artists. Wanjuro, the designer, fashionista, metrosexual; believes himself to be the good looks in the equation. Ophiel, the illustrator, fashionidiote, ruralsexual; believes herself to also be the good looks in the equation. (Which goes to show that belief is a wonderfully blissful thing.) It's quite possible that one of us is the banana, and the other is coffee, although it would be mildly traumatizing to speculate which and why.

So I present to you our blog, where we voice all sorts of artistic joys and frustrations from "I got a comission!" to "How can that guy be so good?!" and "Life's not FAIR!"

Enjoy.
