Original artwork description:

I've come back to the sweet shop for my latest pop art food painting. This one depicts the packaging of a classic British treat, a Drumstick Lolly - a milk and raspberry flavour chewy lolly.

As ever with sweets the packaging was always very eye-catching and well designed, perfectly depicting what you'd be getting inside and primed to capture the eye of young kids.

As ever with many of my works the design goes around the edge and the shape of the canvas mimics the actual shape of the object - so it's like an actual art object that’s ready to hang.

The end result is a bold bright painting that would brighten up any room in your home, or would make an ideal gift for someone with a sweet tooth.

It is painted in acrylics and Posca paint pens on a stretched cotton canvas. It's signed and dated on the back frame, as depicted.

PLEASE NOTE: The final image shows some of the other retro sweet pop art paintings in my shop.

I've been inspired to create work like this by classic pop artists like Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein and Patrick Caulfield, and by modern day graphic designers and food packaging.
