Shark Hear the Bells

Art Shark Designs Prints and Notebooks

Your SO’s last attempt at a spontaneous couples’ adventure involved lame detours (World’s Smallest Q-tip!), unexpected passengers (that hitchhiker didn’t seem like a murderer), and the finest in gas station cuisine.

Erase those memories (and lingering road rage) with quaint City Love prints from Art Shark Designs. Local artist Megan Nolton hand-prints romantic scenes depicting umbrella-toting lovers from original illustrations and uses dabs of watercolor to add depth.

Picture yourself strolling the Tidal Basin under the cherry blossoms’ full glory, feeding the ducks in Boston’s Public Garden pond, or soaking up the urban majesty of the Capitol dome.

Have overseas ambitions? Gaze up at the Eiffel Tower from just beyond the Seine.

Printed Moleskine journals allow you to catalog outrageous travel anecdotes or dream up future getaways.

It’s all about the Shark attack.
