Photos: Illustrator uses coffee and cats to create unique works of art

While most of us are content to merely drink coffee and feel the tingly effects of its caffeine, that's not enough for Russian illustrator Elena Efremova, who not only appreciates the flavor of her coffee beverages, but uses them to inspire artwork.

For Elena, each coffee drink whether it's an espresso, an Americano, or a sweet coffee-and-ice-cream treat has its own personality that comes through in its flavor.

And to capture that, she's created portraits of cats with some very distinct personalities. Elena uses an everyday beverage, enjoyed by millions, to create clever, unique works of art.
