Some notes for this artwork:

- This artwork was done for my boyfriend as christmas present who had certain wishes what he wanted to have and so I finally designed something for him which resulted into a 60's pinup/ art nouveau style combination.

- The artwork symbolizes tastyness and so all elements were art directed to support that purpose.

- Stock photos were used for reference and texture. Some were shot by myself. Finishing the whole artwork took around 30 hours. I started working around 3 weeks ago.

- I did not paint cast shadows because this does not work very well with art nouveau style.

- I have added flowerpowerstock to the keywords since I got my best references for the cherries from there. I also love how she arranged the cherries on the trey in front of this wonderful wallpaper. It shows real sense for art direction so her account is really worth a visit!

PS: I encourage advanced critique. No spam, no flame. I am always open for a talk, but if you don't like my art, go visit another gallery. Thank you.
