Dragon in Love

What if dragons were real? Would they fall in love? Could a beautiful girl be wooed by one? This stunning 3D drawing shows the answer is clearly Yes!

The song, Adiemus, inspires visions of fantasy, flight, and fleeting love. Download it here:

Some Like It Hot

I know Dean’s been doing most of the posts here, but I just couldn’t resist this hot little Habanero design! I love cooking and I love cooking with peppers! The hotter the better and you can’t get hotter than this great photograph of colorful red, green and yellow habanero peppers at a farmer’s market in New Mexico.

Want to feel the heat? Try this great recipe from Cooking Enthusiast! And don’t think I forgot the music. Who can resist dancing along in the kitchen with Robert Palmer’s Some Like it Hot?

Antonio’s Spring

This vintage poster made me think of Antonio and Italy.

I hear you asking: “Who’s Antonio?” Antonio Lucio Vivaldi of course. Italian composer.  His Le quattro stagioni: La primavera or The Four Seasons: Spring is an amazing piece of music and it goes perfectly with today’s design. Flowers, birds… Immaculate spring atmosphere, don’t you think?

Through the Fire and Flames

What’s the first thing that comes to your mind when you see the word “dragon”? Powerful, mythical, fantasy, supernatural, legendary? Something completely different?

I think this song by Dragonforce. I think “crazy”. Have a look at the picture. I see a story there. The dragon surely doesn’t look like a friendly pet that could be tamed or defeated easily. Everything seems to be on its side, everything seems to play to its advantage – its size, its power, the fear that it raises. Facing and fighting such a creature does seem crazy and hopeless. And yet there’s always someone who is trying. Someone we consider crazy at first but brave in the end. The line between “crazy” and “brave” surely is damn thin at times. But that’s also the place where heroes are born. ;-)

 

Pretty Woman

Roy Orbison’s Pretty Woman was the first song that came to my mind when I was looking at this design.

Both the song and the artwork have that “retro” quality that’s hard to find these days. They bring you the feeling of “good ol’ times” when music and art were true, genuine, fun and damn good. Let’s all vote for pretty girls, great music and designs. ;-)

Wild Heart

I run around like a spirit in flight / Fearlessness is fearlessness / I will not forget this night / Dare my wild heart / Dare my wild heart

Stevie Nicks’ song says it all. This colorful and fearless design appeals to our wild side and dares us to run further and soar higher so we won’t forget that one special night. ;-)

Ravenlord

Can you feel the autumn wind blowing? Ravenlord is coming to stay. Can you hear the passing bell tolling? Ravenlord takes you far away…

Great song by Hammerfall fits this fall design perfectly imo. And I’m sure it’s creepy enough even for all the Halloween lovers out there. Btw, after you buy this, try to put it on and see if Samhain likes it enough to leave you alone. *grins*

Hot For Teacher

What do you think the teacher’s gonna look like this year? Is she gonna wear something cool and hot? I’ve got it bad, so bad for this sexy English Teacher design. Everyone loves sexy English teachers, right?

Reminds me of that one teacher I used to have in high school. Oh yeah!

Driver picks the art, shotgun shuts his cakehole!

Welcome to our little art site on the web, where our mission is to help you “wear your art on your sleeve” … or in this case, on your t-shirt, button, iPhone case, magnet on a fridge door, on your dog … well, you get the picture. We believe that you can, and should!, surround yourself with art every day. Our goal? To seek out new and different designs to share with our readers. To promote new, exciting and unknown artists. To lead you away from mass-produced t-shirts and help you find a style all your own. To boldly go where no design has gone before.

We hope you enjoy the ride!
