Eye Candy : Amy Atlas Events

I'm absolutely in love with these images from Amy Atlas Events in New York. The color, arrangements, everything. So beautifully done it looks like something that belongs in the world of Pushing Daisies. 

Here's a little snippet from her website, AmyAtlas.com:

Desserts bring back many sweet memories for Amy so it is no surprise that she would specialize in her signature dessert tables. Amy’s fondest sweet memory from childhood is of sitting in her grandmother’s sunny kitchen on a spring afternoon, watching her pull homemade rocky road cake out of the oven. While waiting to lick the bowl, Grandma would let Amy drizzle caramel icing all over the cake. To this day the smell of rich, melted caramel still reminds Amy of that wonderful spring afternoon, when it felt like the world belonged to just the two of them and the essence of happiness was warm rocky road cake.

Eye Candy : Ray Caesar

Bringing you all something a little different today. A friend brought these to my attention and I thought I'd share. Ray Caesar's art is equal parts whimsical and weird, which makes it all sorts of awesome in my book.

A little about the artist, from The Art & Pop Culture Encyclopedia:

Ray Caesar (b. October 26, 1958) is a visual surreal artist and digital painter residing in Toronto, Canada. He has exhibited at the Mondo Bizarro art gallery in Italy.

Graduating from the Ontario College of Art & Design, Caesar went on to work in the Art and Photography department of the Hospital for Sick Children in Toronto, where he has documented various child inflictions in sketches. This gruesome experience has enabled Caesar to create surreal landscapes and models with very detailed photographic textures. Caesar uses 3D modeling software, Maya with figures and environments built out of Nonuniform rational B-spline surfaces.
