Patrons of the cafe will be able to receive unique AI art creations and could win a piece of work signed by the popular artist and animator known as Coolman Coffeedan
Hong Kong-based generative AI startup Pons.ai is powering a new collaboration between the Curator Creative Café at West Kowloon’s M+ museum and the acclaimed American artist, Danny Casale, better known as Coolman Coffeedan or simply Coolman.
The collaboration will see several of the cafe’s flagship food and drink products decorated with a selection of vibrant motifs featuring Coolman’s distinctive characters. Customers who purchase these items will be presented with a complimentary QR code sticker. When the QR code is scanned, Pons.ai’s tech will craft a unique Coolman cartoon character artwork for the customer. Five lucky patrons will receive a globally limited edition Coolman artwork, signed by the artist himself.

We cannot be happier to work with a pioneering superstar like Coolman, his team, as well as the M+ Curator Café. We are super excited to work with more global IPs and brands on a variety of GenAI hyper-personalised products soon.”
