Booty Wagon - by Brandon Ortwein

Submitted to the Threadless + Wittlebee contest.
I drew you a kids coloring pages mug of coffee

I drew you a soccer “GOAL!” mug of coffee
In celebration of my daughter’s first ever goal in a soccer game, I drew you this soccer themed mug of coffee. Part of the goal post makes up the handle and the ball also sits as a 3D element on the side of the mug.
I hope you like it!
