Ever wondered what kind of plants grow out there in the farthest corners of the universe? Meet Flora-Eye – a quirky, one-of-a-kind alien plant that’s been drifting through the cosmos, collecting stories and worlds along the way. This little traveler is ready to add a splash of intergalactic charm to your life!

The finished artwork

Flora-Eye isn’t your average houseplant. Its head is shaped like a giant eye, complete with a glowing yellow iris that seems to follow everything around it. (Don’t worry – it’s friendly… probably.) Hidden beneath its eyelids are tiny teeth, giving it just the right amount of weirdness. Its green body is full of life, and from the top of its eye-head bloom soft purple petals – because even alien plants like to accessorize!

The coolest part? Right on Flora-Eye’s chest is a tiny planet, like a badge of honor. Maybe it’s a reminder of home, or maybe it’s just one of many places it’s visited on its cosmic adventures. Either way, Flora-Eye is always ready for its next journey – and that could be with you!

Inspiration for the artwork

It might sound a little odd, but the inspiration for this character came from my recent tough bout with bronchitis. There were moments when the coughing got so intense that, lying in a dark room, with every coughing fit I saw glowing shapes at the upper and lower rim of my visual field – kind of like the teeth on the alien’s eye. I thought this was a very interesting experience, so I grabbed my electronic pencil and started sketching what I saw. And, as with most of my art, this quirky and cosmic creature just naturally came to life. It’s funny how even the roughest moments can spark a little creativity!

You can bring this little cosmic oddball into your world 🙂

Flora-Eye is available on t-shirts, stickers, prints, and more across Redbubble, Threadless, TeePublic, and Zazzle. Whether you’re decorating your space or looking for a fun gift, Flora-Eye’s ready to add some stellar vibes to your collection.
