Denise Tassin.

I will agree that NECCO Wafers are pretty to look at in all their pastel glory, but I for one cannot stand to eat those disks of pure sugar. They literally make my teeth hurt. That’s why Baltimore-based artist Denise Tassin’s beautiful and intricate drawings on the wafer itself is an amazing use of canvas space to me. Tassin uses a variety of pens, including fine-tipped Sharpies, to create miniature works of wonder in her Sole NECCO collection. Tassin has a wide range of inspiration she reaches to for her drawings – from scientific diagrams found in biology books to dolls and Santas. After the mini-art is complete, it’s repackaged and sealed for sale.
