When Graphica went down
to the cafe she found
everyone was painted-in
except Terude who sat and
sat, not pouting or sad, just
a million miles away.
Maybe, a coffee would help,
and Graphica ordered. But
service was slow as the
paintings barely moved and
she waited and waited for
two cups of medium warm
coffee and a bucket of fries.

Tim Hopeless and the Cafe-Graphica movement.
Tim Hopeless was the corporate name that several members of the
Cafe-Graphica movement used for their work. Typically, weather permitting,
these alienated art-students hungry for recognition and real money took
their laptops to the out door cafés, ordered cheaply and created
unconventional art.
Poetry or psychologically-dense writing was often added to create 'Graphic
Poems' for online publications. It wasn't till the works became markedly
pornographic that the market value increased. Creative control of Tim
Hopeless was settled unsatisfactorily after a decade of litigation. The
Cafe-Graphica movement was finally purchased by Channel1 Moscow for a
half billion Eurodollars. Eventually the project was shelved to make way for
the re-militarization of the Russian Empire.
