About the Artwork
A cut-and-paste collage portrait of Billie Holiday on your morning mug. Ransom-note typography and painterly blue tones give this glossy ceramic a soulful, irreverent energy. Lady Day didn't just sing the blues — she lived inside them and gave them back to us as something holy. One of the most emotionally precise voices in American music history, and one of the most persecuted artists of the 20th century. This mug is a small act of reclamation.
