Some artists draw on bar napkins. Others, like Miguel Cardona, choose something a bit different for their canvas.

The illustrator and lead designer at imgix, an image processing company, creates stunning illustrations on paper coffee cups. His subjects include a broad list of characters ranging from Grumpy Cat to Walter White.

Cardona sells the cups and donates all of the proceeds to the charity Project Night Night , which supplies more than 25,000 "Night Night Packages" for homeless children each year — packages containing books, blankets and stuffed animals.

The website Cool Hunting reports that Cardona was inspired to decorate his cup after a barista tied a napkin to his coffee order, which he envisioned as a scarf.

The full collection of Cardona's cups can be found at here.
