Artists

Every PROPR batch features original art from an independent artist. Their work is the face of every drop.

Jon Rhoades

Jon Rhoades hails from Aurora, Nebraska, where he is known—when he is known at all—as a quiet, almost reclusive figure who keeps to the shadows of small-town life. By day, he works as a local software developer, crafting lines of code with the same precision he brings to the twisted mysteries he writes. By night, he can often be found lingering over strategy board games, drawn to the same intricate patterns and hidden motives that haunt his fiction. Rhoades's work reflects the darker corners of the human mind, shaped by a life lived just out of view, where secrets gather and stories begin.

Meowster Smith

by Jon Rhoades

**Mysterious Meowster Holmes** is a dark roast wrapped in intrigue—smooth, calculated, and quietly complex. From the first sip, it presents a bold, full-bodied foundation of deep roast and bittersweet cocoa, then reveals something more elusive: a delicate floral note that flickers in and out like a clue just out of reach. <br> There’s a rhythm to it—methodical, observant. The kind of coffee that rewards attention. As it cools, new layers emerge, subtle and refined, leaving behind a lingering finish that feels less like an ending and more like a case left open. <br> Crafted for early risers, late thinkers, and those who know the best answers don’t come all at once.
