Who is the artist behind National Park Posters?
The artist is Rob Decker, a veteran photographer and graphic artist who has dedicated much of his life to capturing and sharing the splendor of National Parks. He creates iconic posters inspired by the WPA artwork of the 1930s and '40s. He hopes to encourage as many people as possible to experience and help ensure the parks are protected and preserved for future generations.
How is the artwork created?
Rob Decker starts by taking a series of high dynamic range (HDR) photographs. He then digitally transforms the composite HDR photograph into a work of graphic art. The posters are printed on 100% recycled, domestically produced paper stock with soy-based inks by one of the greenest printers in America, located in Colorado.
Does the artist donate any proceeds from the sales?
A: Yes, 10% of the annual proceeds are donated to trusts, conservancies, and associations working to preserve National Parks.

Do You Ship Overseas?
Unfortunately, we no longer ship overseas. In addition to the high cost of shipping, lengthy delays and additional duties or VAT taxes, lost packages, etc., we have decided to discontinue shipping outside the US and Canada. My apologies for this. It's possible that you can purchase them on Amazon (depending on where you live).
