A little trippy - a little hippie - and a lot of color
Jimi Tribute wall mural at magic murals
Jerry Blank's electrifying wall mural pays tribute to one of the
greatest guitarists of all time and singer-songwriter Jimi Hendrix.
Trendsetting guitarist James Hendrix who was considered one of the most
influential musicians of his time is especially remembered for his
performances at the 1969 Woodstock Festival and Monterey Pop Festival.
Blank's extraordinary mural is a pictorial depiction of the
award-winning Rock & Roll musician and his musical journey over the
few short years that he experienced mainstream exposure.
The painting is
sure to take fans on a trip down musical memory lane to Seattle born
Hendrix's path-breaking albums, ‘You are Experienced’, ‘Axis:Bold as
Love’ and beyond. Blank, in his effort to honor the brilliant musician
behind ‘Hey Joe’ and other unforgettable pieces, infuses his own
admiration and interpretation for Hendrix’s work by blending his
distinctive collage treatment with graffiti style art in this
one-of-a-kind wallpaper mural.
Joplin Tribute wall mural at magic murals
This wall mural from Jerry Blank’s The Art of Music collection paints a
visual tribute to singer, song-writer and composer Janis Joplin who left
a lasting and powerful impact on the world of American music during the
course of her short life.
The famously rebellious singer from Port
Arthur, Texas shot to fame in the 60’s as the lead singer of then
popular psychedelic rock band Big Brother and the Holding Company.
She
later held her own with the bluesy backup group she formed, namely the
Kozmic Blues Band and the the Canadian rock band she headed - Full Tilt
Boogie Band.
Through her relatively short musical journey, she left an
undeniable stamp of originality on every album and track she was a part
of. He refusal to conform differentiated her as a peerless singer and
artist.
She is remembered for her performances at the Monterey Pop
Festival, the Woodstock festival and the Festival Express train tour.
But, most of all, Janis Joplin is remembered for not being afraid to
experiment and living her life and making music on her own terms.
It is
this spirit and colorful personality that Blank captures with the use of
bold strokes, vibrant shades and a tiled background effect in his Janis
Joplin wall mural.

Boogie at the Disco Bedroom Decorating

It was such a popular sensation that it catapulted the music to stratospheric levels of mainstream popularity, and the album was the bestselling movie soundtrack of all time (until The Bodyguard, and then Titanic).
But "Disco Fever" became so hot, it could only flame out just as quickly (along with the careers of the Bee Gees). With this record, disco became a phenomenon and a fad. The Bee Gees' contributions are the strongest, especially the once-ubiquitous "Stayin' Alive" and "Night Fever," and they still hold up.
Then there's Walter Murphy's "A Fifth of Beethoven," a trivial piece of pop ephemera that may have set new standards for ephemeral triviality.
How often will you listen to this record - and how much will you play when you do? There's no telling - but it remains a classic piece of pop history, and when you're in the mood it's a good thing to have around. - Jim Emerson

Think plastic. Think inflatable PVC chairs and TV tables. It must be the 1960s
For the first time, America was leading a design revolution with Wendell Castle's Molar and Castle chairs, Estelle Lavergne's lucite furniture and the experiments of Ray and Charles Eames. Warren Planter, Hans Knoll, Harry Bertoia, Alexander Girard, and Robert Propst were world-ranked designers who pioneered new directions in furnishings and accessories that appeared in trendy homes and offices in Europe and Asia.
The wallpaper stands for the zeitgeist of the 70s
and makes us dream of the past.
Retro with Geometric design style
This Trippy wallpaper harks back to the halcyon days of the 1960s and 1970s so dig out your old flares, tie flowers in your hair and relive the sounds of the time with this beautiful 60s wallpaper.
The design of the 1970s was distinguished by a strong confluence of creativity and functionalism in furnishing and decor. We already recognize many '70s furniture designs as icons of mid-century modernism-and the proof is the prices they command at fine furniture auctions today.
Bony examines the works of international designers whose creations exemplify this period, from the ergonomically-focused designers working in America to the pure design movement in Scandinavia and design innovators in Italy led by Archizoom, Alchymia, and Gaetano Pesce.
This indispensable reference book chronicles the period's interior design trends with over 200 photographs focusing on artistic and decorative innovations that created the first intelligent and informed design conversation between two continents.
A staggering collection of 1970s fashion faux pas, from torso-clinging disco shirts to billowing bell bottoms. Mothers in hot pants, dads in leisure suits, children subjected to cruel knitting experiments.
The 1970s brought us many things - some remembered fondly, others with a collective wince. But the true horror of the 70s lies in the many and various crimes against style. Whatever the cause, an almost universal lack of restraint, coupled with a dearth of taste, led to some of the most ghastly and regrettable styles in fashion history.
Most people have, of course, set fire to any photographic evidence of their grimmest fashion errors, so the author has had to search far and wide to track down some of the crotch-mangling, buttock-hugging, polyester numbers you find here. So sit back and enjoy this homage to fashion's darkest hour.
