Cotton Candy



Last week I was awed by this amazing painting by artist Will Cotton. Candy loving Cotton, was commissioned by Katy Perry to create a cover for her new album Teenage Dream. He was also a creative director for her recent single 'California Gurls'. You can see the inspirations behind Perry's sugary pop video in his sensual work, a delight for the eyes and the tastebuds!

I was also inspired by the twin themes of girls and sweets in my 2008 series 'Bon Bons'. With models ranging from Kylie Minogue to Beatrix Von Bourbon this series was a big hit with sweetie lovers!
