Tolkien in Chocolate

As a self-confessed sugar addict, I often find myself stalking around the office looking for lollipops or trolling for Tootsie Rolls. It isn’t often I find something sweet that makes me think twice about eating it, but in this case, I think I can make an exception. After all, even in chocolate, Gollum never looks particularly tasty.

See what I mean?

Håkan Mårtensson,  New-York-based sculptor and obvious madman, claims chocolate as his medium and fantasy – especially Tolkien – as his influence. Though inspired by the aesthetics found of the Lord of the Rings movies,  Mårtensson has also created sculptures of scary clowns, Little Red Riding Hood, and sundry dragons.
