Diary of a Small Town – Vintage Dreams and Nightmares
We have quite the tale in store for you today at The Eye of Faith. This one is taken from the darkest depths of our imagination and tells the hidden tales of a quaint small town, not too far from where you sit. It could be any small town, but this one is brimming with mystery, and dare I say, perhaps even evil!
Things started out innocent enough, but there are certain places on this Earth where malevolent energies cluster and stay for many thousands of years. It is in the quiet of the country, far from the claws and chains of the city, that have provided families and individuals with the peace and calm they desire. But often times, it is the unsettling chill of calm that can provide the most fright.
Even in a town where everyone knows your name, you never know the myths and legends being made behind closed doors or the grim memories lost deep beyond the trees at night. This one is all about wayward youth, rebellion, seduction, secrets, mysteries, beauty, and strength.
To our vintage dreams, and to our vintage nightmares – this one is to a town not yet forgotten. Keep the mystery close, for you never know what clues you may stumble upon. For all you know, they might still need your help.

{PHOTOBLAST} Americana-Rama! Happy 4th of July!
We’re showing our appreciation for the red, white, and blue and everything in between those bright stripes and white stars that make us love Americana!
Amer·i·ca·na
noun plural \ə-ˌmer-ə-ˈkä-nə, -ˌmər-, -ˌme-rə-, -ˈka-nə\
Definition of AMERICANA
1: materials concerning or characteristic of America, its civilization, or its culture; broadly: things typical of America
Just to be clear.
We’ve devised a delightful dowery of delights to celebrate the independence of a nation who continues to excite and influence the world over again and again. A rebel nation, America has come to stand for so much more in the context of our popular culture than just the country, itself. It’s the metaphorical, metaphysical, and imagined mythologies that make America the magic land of opportunity and freedom that we dream about to this day. Tales of rebellion, rejuvenation, martyrdom, and leisure . . .
A place to do exactly as one pleases. . .and in many ways, it really is. Enjoy this piece of true American bliss!
We literally couldn’t do it without you, so as long as you keep visiting, we shall keep delivering!
Special Thanks to all of our US Customers that really help make us the success we are.
Remember to keep sharing with your friends, and letting them know that this is a different kind of site, with a ton to offer, and a lot of fun to get lost in! Also, if you haven’t already, please LIKE US on Facebook, and FOLLOW US on Twitter (@theeyeoffaith)!
We are almost at the half-a-million mark, so help us keep soaring!

Music Mintue: “She’s My Witch” by Kip Tyler
Our man Kip Tyler isn’t afraid of no witches, and neither should you! If the witch is casting a spell on you – wittingly or not – just lay back and let that magic work.
Back in the 1950s pursuing rock n’ roll was not the easiest way to be making friends. With you parents, peers, and church shunning you aside, all you had were the cool kids.
Today Kip is remember for his bad boy looks, rebel attitude, and amazing capability to jive. Though he never hit it as big as he wished for, we can still help keep Kip’s dreams alive listening to his music!
This is classic rockabilly at it’s finest, so please enjoy Kip Tyler singing “She’s My Witch”
Until Next Time,

The First Man To Walk on the Moon…

“Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand.”
He sure stands for something in this world. The first man to set foot on the lunar surface. It’s absolutely incredible to think how far we’ve come…
It’s all so strange, really. How far is it all really?
“I think we’re going to the moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It’s by the nature of his deep inner soul… we’re required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.”

Just some thoughts.

New Trailer{s} for Paul Thomas Anderson’s upcoming film, “The Master” !
We’ve been profiling this film for months now, and finally two more trailers have dropped for this much anticipated film of the year! We are excited to share them with you.
Full of vintage American goodness, these latest trailers definitely help shed some light on this Post War Tale of Tragedy & Paradise Lost, among other things…the entire production looks absolutely fantastic! Artful, perhaps, even a new American classic….
Looks like Joaquin Phoenix had gotten back what many hypothesized he had lost in time to make this film which looks like quite a marvel of magic movie making!
We found some behind-the-scenes shots taken on the set of the film several months ago, as well as noting the story’s similarity (as well as Phillip Seymour Hoffman’s uncanny resemblance) to L. Ron Hubbard, the father of Scientology.
Many rumors are flying, and most people can’t wait! The world’s first glimpses are coming soon right here in our hometown of Toronto, at this year’s annual international film festival. The film will then make it’s European debut in Venice for their annual festival, as well. And with Harvey Weinstein backing the thing, we can’t imagine it flop…
So keep your {EYE} open, and enjoy these quick glimpses into one of the year’s hottest upcoming attractions!
Sincerely,

Paradise Found: Adventures in the South Pacific
“Ah, to think how thin the veil that lies Between the pain of hell and Paradise.”
-George William Russell
We like to think of The Eye of Faith as our own special island. Seeing these brave young men embracing nature, the islands, the beach, flowers, and sky made us quite nostalgic for the faded dreams of these long lost memories.
Faded technicolour dreaming and utilitarian practicality make this look fresh and easily reinventable. So, let’s all find our own Bali Hai this Spring and Summer!
“I seen another world. Sometimes I think it was just my imagination”
