We’re ushering in a new series called Poster Pairings where we match creative wisdom with music. Here goes!

Making mistakes is something I can get behind. You’ve heard it before, but it’s definitely one of those reminders we need over and over. I’m not sure how it’s such a faux pas in our culture after a certain age (and why we fear it so much), but it’s really the only way we learn anything. If you’re a real human being and doing life right, you’ll continue to make mistakes -  just hopefully not the same ones.

Here’s a poster you can throw up on your wall to remind yourself it’s totally fine to fail and a song to accompany it (below). For the record, I totally dig this print by Mike Monteiro too. It was just sold out and these versions have better availability, although that comes and goes.

Black version also available.
