Boey Cheeming or more commonly known as Boey started his first piece of cup art while he was at a coffee shop, people watching and he wanted to doodle but didn't have a paper on him. So he grabbed a styrofoam cup and began drawing. Right from there, a light bulb went off in his head and what you see here are the impressive results from that very day.
Armed with only a black Sharpie pen, Boey creates all kinds of scenes from portraits to landscapes. We've included a video below to show you Boey in action with a foam cup in hand. You've got to watch it.
Some of you will be glad to know that this talented individual hails from Malaysia but currently works and resides in California. When this hobby first began, Boey's friend asked him what he was going to do with all of his cup drawings, he said maybe he would sell them to which his friend replied, "no one's gonna buy that crap." With that, Boey accepted the challenge, determined to prove his friend wrong and stubbornly vowed to become the Styrofoam Cup King. He is now quite popular and recognised for these cup illustrations and earning a name for himself.
