 Are you as SICK of sugar and sweets as I am? Ugh. Every year, I start the holidays excited about enjoying Christmas cookies and holiday treats (at one point in mid-December I even went as far as to say, "I haven't had enough cookies this year!"), and then come January 1, a sugar detox cannot come fast enough. That being said, these paintings by today's featured artist, Will Cotton, are anything but a sugar detox. They're a visual retox--so get ready. I find that they make me want sugar even less, just because they're SO over the top, but who knows how your sweet tooth will react ;) A few fun facts about Will Cotton: He's been painting candy landscapes for over 16 years now. He lives and paints in NYC (obvs), but his work is sold in galleries all over the world. He is also the artist behind Katy Perry's "California Gurls" video from 2010--she approached him to direct her video after seeing his paintings! And her cover art for her album that year was also a painting by Cotton (below). So lets take a look at some of Cotton's totally indulgent, over-the-top paintings, shall we?   
    What do you think? Total overdose or total heaven? Probably depends on the time of day and mood you're in when looking at these pieces... ;) You can view tons more amazing work by Will Cotton + all of the details about the paintings above on his website. Hope your Wednesday is as sweet as can be!  2/26/2017 10:50:00 pm
How I wish I can found an island of sweets! When I was a kid, I really believe that it does exists. I don't know the exact reason why I am always craving for sweets. Actually, I have a lot of chocolates in our refrigerator. Anyway, thank you for sharing your thoughts, keep blogging! Comments are closed.
