Flight of the Bumblebee by Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov Photo Print Description

The flight of the bumblebee is an extremely famous and recognizable musical piece by Russian composer Nicolai Rimsky-Korsakov. The piece is an interlude in one of the great composer's opera, but it is usually played alone, and few people even know it is a part of a larger piece. This fast-paced, dynamic work is beautiful and technically challenging. It has been transcribed and played on various instruments, and will continue to inspire many musicians for many centuries to come. I had created multiple designs featuring composers like Beethoven, Mozart, Chopin, and Liszt. I decided, as I did in Liszt's La Campanella, to focus on a specific work, and not the composer himself. The digital illustration I came up with features Rimsky-Korsakov riding a massive bumblebee across the skies. He is the epitome of cool, with his signature haircut and beard, and a couple of neon sunglasses with a slight steampunk look. The flight of the bumblebee is a fun design, an homage to a great composer. It looks great on a wide variety of products, from t-shirts to posters and phone cases. It will make an amazing gift for classical musical lovers, and musicians in general. As I mentioned before, I have many musical designs available on my store.

Music is a huge influence in my life. Every since I was a kid, I've been enamored with it. I played electric guitar during my teen years and early twenties, and started taking piano lessons around 2009. It's hard to overstate how important music is to me, and it definitely shows on my designs. Classical music is specially important, as are great composers like Bach, Mozart, Beethoven, Chopin, Rachmaninov, and many others. Whether using the musical symbols to create a pattern, or simply creating a typographic design urging new musicians to do their best in their own musical careers, I simply love using music as a muse.
