Sunglasses not only influence the 3D world but the 2D world as well. If you want your art to mirror life then sometimes art is going to involve sunglasses. Many graffiti artists have incorporated sunglasses into their murals and paintings that potentially influence anyone walking by as to what kind of sunglasses they might buy next. You might, for instance, want to be this cool 70s dude if you saw this portrait…

And you know what? You could, with the Guess 6571 style…

It’s kind of like rain and evaporation and all that science that you’ve most likely forgotten since the 1st grade. Rain falls from the clouds into the ground, then evaporates back into the atmosphere, and into the clouds, and then rain falls again. Something like that. Well, first a manufacturer creates the sunglasses, then someone in the real world buys them, then the artist takes someone’s image and puts it in their painting, then we look at the painting and want to be the person in the image so we buy the sunglasses the image is wearing, or the closest thing to them, and art and life circulate like this, hopefully forever. It’s the miracle of life mirrored in a fun retail parallel. People love retail metaphors, that’s why we give them to you.

And even if the Aztecs are correct about 2012….

…and the world is ending, maybe there’s room for sunglasses in the new world. There could be one man or woman still standing in the rubble who finds a pair of sunglasses in the ground, puts them on, and says something like “It’s time to start seeing things in a new light.” Something akin to this scenario…

This guy’s gonna need sunglasses eventually. Here’s a confusing image to stare at for awhile…

You’ve got everything in this image: cool aviators, an orange ice pop, a nice looking man, an Iguana, a stone head with either vine or a snake wrapped around it, a turquoise portal ejecting 747 airplanes one after the other, and then there was a 3rd person who was apparently there for all of it. I wish they’d tell us where this happened. Then again, not to be critical, but this is just another orange ice pop stone head man iguana turquoise portal 747 airplane scenario that we’ve grown so tired of lately.

Here’s some classic graffiti showcasing some cool shades…

Here’s a portrait of a very happy man…

This being art that’s not a real style, but they’re similar to the Carrera33…

Here’s a total dude…

We’ve got a blind monkey on the left and an angry monkey on the right and one really cool dude in the middle. We can only guess that the angry monkey is upset this guy’s so laid back and he covets the aviators and is thinking, “I want those aviators so bad. Who does he think he is walking around in those. Just because I’m a monkey doesn’t mean I don’t have rights. Didn’t we learn anything from Project X?! I can call Matthew Broderick in a second if I want and you do not want Matthew Broderick coming down on you. Sarah Jessica Parker is my wife’s tennis partner so don’t think this isn’t possible, pal. You’re not even listening to me! Frustrating. I need to practice my Rosetta Stone English.”

Don’t end up like that angry monkey. Get a pair of shades. It’s what Matthew Broderick and Sarah Jessica Parker would want for you.
