I may have a fetish for paintings of delicious food items, such as donuts. You, however, may have a fetish for Katy Perry. If you don’t, you’re going to have one for both of those tasty things after seeing this artwork.
I stumbled across a blurb in Smithsonian Magazine about an artist, Will Cotton, and his artwork that depicts beautiful women wrapped in only cotton candy and melted ice cream.
I’m about 4 years late seeing many of these images; Cotton actually began painting women into his landscapes of pastries and delicious things before 2010. He was noticed that year because a painting he did of Katy Perry, seemingly nude on a bed of cotton candy clouds was featured as her album cover art for Teenage Dream.
Not surprisingly, he was the artistic director for the video of her California Gurls collaboration with Snoop Dogg. It’s worth a re-watch now, or a first time view for all of you guys who can’t admit you watched it in the first place. It’s crazy after seeing Cotton’s art and knowing if it wasn’t for America’s prudishness, there would have probably been nips showing in the video if he had his way. They used real cotton candy in the shooting process, can you imagine being there for that?
All that needs said about it is a quote from Will about how Katy felt about being sticky: “She was such a good sport. She seemed just fine with it. And yes, it is sticky, so she needed some hosing down at the end of the day.” Wow. Here’s some BTS footage:
Had many of his other paintings been real pictures, these women would have needed hosed down as well:
Remember when I mentioned nips being visible? Well, my bosses here at Faded said I have to keep this post suitable for work BUT I can give you the links to the NSFW pics if you’d like?

Now why do I have a feeling that the next photographer that asks me to shoot is going to want to go for an ice cream run? Let me know if you think I should say yes.
