The very idea of a lemon can spark controversy. It is a fruit both sweet and sour, enjoyed in both cold and hot dishes. It can be served as a garnish in a tropical cocktail or as an aid when you feel a scratch in your throat. 

​

When sculpting up this zesty character, I dreamt of the rock stars I was in love with as a teenager and their controversial antics that always ended up in the press (which I read cover to cover). In interviews, they might complain about fame and the paparazzi following them, but deep down you could tell they loved the attention. 

​

For the vignette of Li'l Sweetie, I imagined my lemon as a musician turned movie star whose life is run by their overbearing manager/lover Cynthia. The couple is always on the run from the paparazzi, however they're the one's who called them in the first place.

​

Li'l Sweetie is wild, mysterious and unpredictable yet deep down, they're the sweetest slice you'll ever have.
