# Candy Laden Model Art Danny Roberts' Illustrations Bring Models to Life By Katie Pagnotta | Published 2012-11-01 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dannyrobertsillustrations References: [igorandandre.blogspot](http://igorandandre.blogspot.ca/2012/08/stills-for-img-models-video.html) & [dannyroberts](http://dannyroberts.com/) Danny Roberts' illustrations of [IMG](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dolly-parton-1) models demonstrates a creative spin in the world of art and design. In the collection, she combines [pencil crayons](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nadine-ghosn-crayola-pack) with [candy](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/candyinspired), creating a mix of texture and visual stimulation through the geometric quality of the shapes and figures. Roberts uses these materials to add a pop of color and a wow factor to each piece, giving each representation of the models a fresh angle while showing off their different looks. Danny Roberts' illustrations are bold, playful and show that any materials, with any subject matter, can be used to create a work of art. The artist completed the series within the span of 3 short days, and the final product is nothing short of extraordinary. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.6/10 - Popularity: 32% | Activity: 9% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 30% men, 70% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Mixed-media Art:** Exploring the use of unconventional materials in art and design, such as candy, to create unique and visually striking pieces. - **Texture and Visual Stimulation:** Embracing the use of various textures and geometric shapes to enhance the visual impact of artwork, elevating the overall experience for viewers. - **Playful and Bold Art:** Championing the idea that art can be lighthearted and adventurous, breaking away from traditional forms and inviting new perspectives. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Art and Design:** The art and design industry can find inspiration in the innovative use of materials and techniques, pushing boundaries and attracting a new audience. - **Fashion and Modeling:** The fashion and modeling industry can leverage the creativity and vibrancy seen in the illustrations to further enhance their brand image and storytelling. - **Food and Confectionery:** The food and confectionery industry can tap into the trend of using food as an artistic medium, exploring collaborations and unique product offerings that merge art and gastronomy. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Crystal-Adorned Crushed Cans](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sam-keller.md) - [Vibrantly Colorful Dynamic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kayla-rumpp.md) - [Candy-Like Colorful Glass Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gele-series.md) - [Design-Centric Dynamic Artful Cakes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/artful-cake.md) - [Pop Art Legend-Honoring Dolls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keiichi-tanaami-1.md) - [Street Art-Style Gummy Packaging](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummies.md) - [Confectionary Graffiti Murals](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jolly-rancher-gummie.md) - [Danish Pastry-Inspired Furniture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sweet-art-collection.md) - [Fine Art-Covered Chocolates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/m-cacao-artbars.md)
