Licensing Story

Metatrons Cube Water Bottle Art by Drew Brophy

All living things possess the magical ingredient called water, making it the most important substance to life on earth

 

ANNOUNCING:  Release of METATRON’S CUBE art on premium Italian glass water bottles.  (And a FREE PINT GLASS if you order this week!)

My Water Gallery produces  glass water bottles that beautifully displays the artwork of Wyland and Guy Harvey.  So I was very excited when Kenny Laskan, Water Gallery owner, asked to license my art as well.

I love having a way to showcase my best work on a quality, premium product.

Metatron’s Cube is one of my favorite paintings for so many reasons. (Keep reading for the meaning behind it.)

But first, I want you, my readers, to get your free pint glass that My Water Gallery is giving away to the first 100 people who order a bottle!

If you pre-order my glass bottles this week, you’ll get a free pint glass (shown to your right).

There are only 100 pint glasses though, so place your order quick.

ABOUT METATRON’S CUBE ART:

The art on the bottle is printed from my original painting titled Metatron’s Cube.  It is mixed media on gallery wrapped canvas 60″ x 30″ and currently hangs in my home.  (Prints are available here.)

Some say that just viewing sacred geometry artwork will raise your inner vibration, creating more inner peace, joy and love for your life.  I think this is one of the reasons I love painting it so much.  The higher your vibration, the greater your joy and all good things come from that.

As a surfer, I’ve been strongly pulled to create sacred geometry art, as it visually demonstrates a deeper understanding of what connects us all to nature and the physical universe.

Metatron’s cube is a three-dimensional shape created from the center points of the thirteen circles of the Fruit of Life, which is created from the Flower of Life pattern, which is found in all living things.  Water molecules structure themselves in this same pattern.

Within Metatron’s Cube contains the blueprints of the five platonic solids; these are the building blocks of all matter.   This shape beautifully visualizes the simplicity of our universe, scaling infinitely larger and smaller.

From my studies of water and how it’s structured, I’ve come to understand thatall living things possess the magical ingredient called water, making it the most important substance to life on earth.  It rises to the sky soaking in the sun’s rays, it rains down upon the earth on the mountains where it collects information as it travels through streams and rivers on its way to the sea.  Water cleanses itself in a natural cycle of change.

Electromagnetic information given off by the sun’s rays and the earth’s minerals is vital information which are the building blocks of life, and are carried in the molecular structures of water.  These beautiful, complex structures, as seen in snowflakes, are the recordings of all-that-is and ever was.

It is crucial that we are mindful with how we use water, how we care for it and how we consume it, using integrity and great care.

I know, this is deep stuff, but it’s what I am contemplating most of the time.

About the bottles:

HOW WE QUIT SINGLE-USE WATER BOTTLES:

As I mentioned in my last post, a few years ago my family and I swore off single-use plastic water bottles.  The decision to never again buy a bottled water came after we watched this amazing video called “The Story of Bottled Water.”  (Watch this one with your kids)

I received a lot of emails from people, asking me “how do you get by without buying water bottles.”  So I thought I’d share the answers with you.

We only drink from refillable bottles and take them everywhere we go. We bought a reverse-osmosis filter for our kitchen sink and we fill up from there.

In 4 years I estimate that by not buying them, we have prevented 5,000+ plastic bottles from going into landfills.

We did it for our health and for the environment.  (Plastic leaches into your water, which is harmful to your body, and plastic does not break down in landfills.)

You would think it could be hard to never buy another bottled water again, but it’s easy if you plan ahead.

One habit that has made it easy for us to never have to buy a plastic water bottles is to keep a 5 gallon jug of drinking water in the van at all times, along with refillable drinking containers.  That way we always have water on the road with us.

What do you think of the Metatron’s Cube water bottle?  What do you like about the design?

And do you store water and drink from a glass water bottle?

Respond in the comments below and let me know.  Also, if you have any tips on how to cut back on single-use bottles, share that, too.

As always, thanks for allowing me to keep in touch.

My Water Gallery SUNRISE Water Bottle and Pint Glass

Surfing is an organic experience that allows you to ride the energy of a wave of water that has traveled thousands of miles.

I want to announce the release of our new Italian premium glass water bottles:

Years ago Maria and I gave up single use plastic water bottles.

We did it for our health and for the environment.

We figure we have saved thousands of plastic bottles from going into the landfills, just by banning them from our house, our cars and our lives.

That’s one of the reasons I was so stoked to do this collaboration with My Water Gallery.  Using glass bottles is better for us and the environment.

But they look elegant and beautiful, too; the most beautiful water bottles I’ve ever seen.  The photos do not do it justice; the label with the art has a 3D effect in the light.  It’s amazing.

I wanted my readers to be one of the first to know that you can now pre-order my water bottles, and when you do, you’ll get a free pint glass (shown in the photo above).

There are only 100 pint glasses though, so place your order quick

ABOUT SUNRISE SURF ART:

Surfing is an organic experience that allows you to ride the energy of a wave of water that has traveled thousands of miles.   It is the closest one can get to nature, being in synch with the rhythm of the ocean and experiencing the natural forces in all their glory.

My SUNRISE painting was inspired by a surf trip I took to South Africa.   One dark chilly morning, surfboard in hand, I watched as dawn broke in a sudden burst of light, illuminating the beach and instantly warming the world around him.  This painting is a reflection of what I saw.

This art piece was painted with the intention of showing the joy of surfing and nature, and to inspire others to have an adventure of their own.

Soul Surf Check by Drew Brophy Check AdvantageIf you’re going to write checks, they might as well be cool ones, right?

Apparently, people are still writing checks.  Check Advantage, the maker of check books and address labels, has grown greatly every year during this down economy.

They called and wanted to do a licensing deal for checks and address labels.  Maria was stoked, because she always wanted to see my art on checks.

Knowing that 80% of the people buying checks are women, I put together a few collections with that in mind; happy suns, bugs and hearts.  Happy Smiles Check by Drew Brophy Smiling Sunflowers

But my favorite is, of course, the Soul Surfer checks, which features my classic surf art.

The checks and checkbooks and address labels turned out great – I’m really happy with it.  Maria just ordered our first set of Drew Brophy checks – the Happy Smiles Checks.  (Next time I’ll do the ordering – Soul Surf for me).

If you’re ready for some eye-popping artwork on your checks and checkbook cover and address labels, check out all of my check collections.Smile Style bugs art by Drew Brophy Check Advantage

You can see all of the designs here on the Check Advantage Drew Brophy Page.  Let me know what you think!

One of my newest license deals is with a custom flip-flop company called Sandalista.

(See the official Press Release here)

They create print-on-demand sandals and have an awesome printing process, which works great with the bright colors in my art.

They started with a dozen of my designs, and I’ll be adding new ones every quarter or so.

They also print the art of other artists.

So far, people love them.  You can see all of my flip-flop sandal designs here at Sandalista.com.

(Thanks to all of my friends and family members who have already bought a pair for the summer!)

Sandalista wrote a press release about our partnership, which you can read on PRLOG.

 

Drew

drew-brophy-converse-chuck-taylor-designsWe are so excited to announce the new Brophy Converse Chuck Collection!

Drew’s always telling people to paint their own stuff and customize their lives.  Converse shoes are a great way to do that.

And, if you want Drew’s art on your shoe, now you can have it.

When Drew was a kid, he’d doodle dragons and waves on his Chuck Taylor All Stars.  His friends wanted him to draw on theirs, too.

This collaboration started almost 3 years ago when Converse sponsored our video PAINT PEN TECHNIQUES WITH DREW BROPHY.  A section in the video shows how to paint your shoe with water-based paint pens.  That led to a brainstorming about putting Drew’s art on production shoes.  Drew came up with a couple dozen designs (see the photo above) and they chose a number to move ahead with.

The collection is available at Converse retailers nationwide, including Journey’s, select Nordstrom locations and Converse.com.
