Monarch Sunflower

Here in Grapevine, we get pretty lucky. Every year in October the elegant Monarch butterflies migrate through on their way to Mexico, filling our skies with painted wings. The Monarch’s migration can fill even adult hearts with wonder. How each generation knows to start the journey. Their beauty and their determination make them a favorite from New York, where this beautiful photo was taken, to Texas, to Mexico and around the world.  And who knows?

You might wake up some morning
to the sound of something moving past your window in the wind.
And if you’re quick enough to rise,
you’ll catch the fleeting glimpse
of someone’s fading shadow.
Out on the new horizon
you may see the floating motion of a distant pair of wings.
And if the sleep has left your ears
you might hear footsteps running through an open meadow…
Don’t be concerned.
It will not harm you.
It’s only me pursuing something I’m not sure of …

What dreams do the Monarchs inspire you to pursue?

Flower Power

Whether you’re going to San Francisco or Wall Street, this brightly psychedelic flowered iPhone case will show off your counter culture spirit. Would you like to support “Main Street”? What better way to show your support than buying directly from the artist who created this fun and funky design!

Flowers We Are

This colorful intricate design deserves a very special piece of music – calm, peaceful, relaxing and just as delicate as the tulips. I present you this composition by Yiruma so that both your eyes and ears rest a little and enjoy the beauty that art brings us, be it a poster or a song.  ;-)

Turn the Page

This binder looks like a perfect gift for all the travelers, explorers, voyagers, globetrotters and wanderers in your life. It’ll surely help them keep all the travel memories fresh to share them with you on that special day when they come back. So take a sip of your favorite drink and start leafing through all the amazing adventures while listening to this fantastic cover of Bob Seger’s song by Metallica.

Here I am, on the road again / There I am, up on the stage / There I go, playin’ star again / There I go, turn the page…

 

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:

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*
