There really ought to be a separate area in the forums for latte art. Would creating said area have a negative effect on the site?
For the many newbies searching for info, I assume a separate area would make information gathering significantly easier, additionally, it would allow those searching for espresso-specific info, a lot, lot easier.

Here's the first thing I cranked out this morning (at 7:50 am). The guy who does the cleaning in the building I work is doing his thing around the coffee bar while I'm setting up shop, so he gets his latte after I've got the grinder set up :)
This last week I've gotten very consistent and can get a rosetta in basically 9/10 drinks (counting cappas, lattes and mochas). This was in a tall takeaway cup.

Very nice! The milk we have in the Midwest is kinda watery lately, but I managed to get one decent rosetta yesterday, which I'll try to post it later. I guess the cows aren't happy with the season changing. Happy cows = latte happy art. Depressed cows = latte crappy art... : (
