Donta Santistevan’s Self-Conscious Coffee & Skateboarding Monsters

Donta Santistevan

Donta Santistevan is a San Francisco-based artist and illustrator. Locals may know him from working at the Kidrobot store and drawing at Sketch Tuesdays. It was during the latter that I picked up the great drawing above. Not only is Donta’s coffee character like a caffeinated American version of my favorite Tiny Fuppets, but you gotta admit: Starbucks sizing is wack. The illustration is win-win for me, and now you can get it on T-shirts, pillows and other merch.

Donta recently did the official illustration for the delightful song “F*ck Your Blog” by Childish Gambino and Turquoise Jeep. Here’s a snippet:

Saw your blog on Thursday/ You only re-blog shit girls say / You didn’t re-tweet my birthday / All your comments saying first are so gay.

And here’s the video.

In addition to coffee with a Napoleon complex, Donta Santistevan draws lots of monsters and skaters. Often, he draws monster skaters.
