painting I see that the cat ate the canary...nothing yet for the third. The pictures are fun to look at - and to keep an open mind.

And a pentagram in the manhole cover.

And the waiter (Einstein?) has three arms and is serving poison.

restroom door, skull image in coffee, blood gushing from pie waitress is slicing, octopus tentacles visible on floor and coming out of the woman's sleeve to grasp the young boy's arm. Finally, is that an eyeball on the blind man's plate?

There's also something going on with the face of the customer with his head lowered in the background.

Also tentacled creatures, one behind the first customer's stool and another behind the waitress and the blind man's cane, under the table of cups

And looks like spider legs on the right side of the basket. Some type of tentacle coming from the eyeball soup and bike bell is a serpent. Eiffel Tower in mirror image? Name of cafe translates to Cafe of the Dead.

...My wife & I were both lurking on DU & looking at the painting together on my iPad while sitting in the waiting room at my Dr. & as soon as I enlarged the #1 painting we both blurted OUT LOUD "She's drinking Death Wish Coffee!!"

...We were instantly embarrassed as several people looked at us like we had lost our freakin minds! LOL!!

...Not sure who all on DU knows about Death Wish brand Coffee but their brand logo is a skull & crossbones like the "Jolly Roger" flag on a pirate ship. My wife & I are addicted to the stuff!! We get 6lbs of their signature "Death Wish" blend beans & 1lb of their "Valhalla Java Odinforce Blend" beans shipped to the house every 2 months!

...Thank-you so much for posting this! Unlike many others here I've never seen this artist work before & can't wait to see what else they have!
