In 2015 we set out to illustrate every National Park in the United States. Our passion project has since become a full-time focus, and it has lead us to visit over two-thirds of the parks.
The series is a call to action to visit the parks, preserve nature, and celebrate the art of printmaking. 5% of every poster sale before profit is donated to The National Park Service. Through our prints and our partnerships we’ve been able to help donate over $100k to The National Park Service.
Our
aspiration has always been to get park nerds into posters and poster nerds into
the parks. We’ve been moved to hear so many stories about just that! Like the
mom the parks enthusiast who got into posters with her son the poster admirer.
It’s so cool to hear that the two of them got to experience their first
national park together! Our early days of eclectic music events were always
about bringing people together with different interests. We’re so glad the
series can help do something similar even if in small ways.
Our
ultimate goal is to celebrate the parks, give some shine to the art of
printmaking, and bring people together in the process. Here’s to leaning into
those aspirations even more for years to come.
The
series is now archived by The Library of Congress and has expanded in ways we
couldn’t have imagined.
