My name is Carrah Aldridge (@ creative_carrah). I'm from Ohio. I'm 19 years old. I am an artist, so to speak, I can draw on everything. What I am good at is drawing on Starbucks cups. I once saw another artist named Kristina Webb paint on her cup, and I thought, why don't I draw one myself? So, drawing on the cup has become one of my favorites. Now I have gradually saved up a small collection of cup paintings.

Then I started to po the cups I drew on my instagram, and then they became popular! The most popular blue cup I released has been liked by more than 12700 people. This is beyond my imagination! So now I would like to share with you these popular "works of art".

A set of sharpie pens, a set of copic markers markers, plus a white pen is enough for me to paint on the cup, and I can even play with some color gradients and overlays. The painted cup is not only my creative penholder, but also an excellent decorative gadget, adding a touch of bright color to my room.
