如果你發現一份超過100歲的紙張，會丟到回收還是仔細收藏呢？藝術家 Michael Aaron Williams 從曾祖父以前開的店裡翻出一堆 1920、30 年代的舊帳本，上面的紀錄雖然都已經是百年前的雞毛蒜皮，但是歲月的作用讓這些紙充滿了個性。 Michael Aaron Williams 想到了讓這些上個世紀二三十年代的紙張重煥青春的辦法，他將 Espresso 當作顏料並搭配墨水，在這些「廢紙」上創作肖像畫。

而 Michael Aaron Williams 這一系列的肖像畫最開始創作時的畫風只是一般的素描，到中期改以咖啡入畫時，風格才漸漸改變，顯現更迷人的渲染效果，作品充滿濃濃的咖啡香和舊紙張特有的淡淡霉味，這些紙每一處痕跡和破損都成就了作品的靈魂，歲月的烙印結合咖啡的芳香和墨水的點綴，這些肖像畫散發出優雅復古的味道，目前已經超過 20 幅作品，而且用紙毫不手軟，一張人像往往可以用掉九大張頁面呢！
