Dragon Fans its time to get excited because we now have a second trailer for the Dreamworks production “How To Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World” which will open up in the early part of 2019 unless something changes between now and then. During the first trailer narrative I mentioned that I haven’t followed this franchise so I can’t say much more about it. Let’s watch the second trailer together shall we?

The Plot: One year after defending Berk from Drago, Hiccup and Toothless continue to rescue captured dragons in order to bring them back to Berk and create a bustling dragon and human utopia. Unfortunately, their efforts have also resulted in the island becoming severely overpopulated with dragons. In a response to the overcrowding, Hiccup desires to find the “Hidden World”, a safe haven for dragons that his late father Stoick told him about. Meanwhile, a white Fury[8] dragon, held captive by warlords, is given to infamous dragon hunter Grimmel the Grisly as bait for him to capture Toothless for the warlords’ use as an alpha. (c/o Wiki).

Now that I’ve presented the wonderful vendors that we met at the New York Coffee Festival its time to shine the spotlight on something very special that is a part of it. This is called “The Coffee Art Project” and to make this simpler I’ve copied the exact text from their official website. After that we can scroll through the presentations for this years event and if you need more artist information or to purchase anything just hit the official website linked at the close.

“The Coffee Art Project is an exciting art competition linked to the theme of coffee and is one of our core fundraising initiatives. … All artists are invited to submit an original piece of artwork that represents a creative, unique and personal connection to the concept of ‘coffee’ or a ‘coffee shop experience.”
