Singer Katy Perry finally unveiled the cover for her new album “Teenage Dream”, which comes out on August 24, 2010. The cover artwork is a portrait of Katy by one of her favorite artists, Will Cotton, whose work has been a major inspiration for the singer’s forthcoming album.

Katy decided to contact Will to tell him how much she appreciated his candy landscapes five months ago. They hit it off and he helped to create Katy’s candy-world for the music video of the first single out of the new album, “California Gurls” featuring Snoop Dogg.

Said Cotton, “My collaboration with Katy started out as a mutual admiration society.  I’m delighted that my paintings are the inspiration for this video. My work is about creating a utopia where all desire is fulfilled all the time, but where pleasure and delight can turn dark and dystopic. Katy embodies the archetypes that I look for in a subject. It was thrilling to work with her and to see her inhabit my landscapes.”

“The day I found Will Cotton, I knew I wanted to live in his cinematic cotton candy world. A fantastically art-directed music video and one piece of timeless album artwork later, I can proudly say I am more than a fan. Will has been a sweetheart every step of the way and always open to collaborative ideas. I’m so happy to have discovered his candy-land, and so excited about our creative future together” states Katy.
