Posters
Posters are 13" x 19". This includes a 1/2" white border all the way around, so the printed area is 12" x 18". They are printed on "Conservation" a 100% recycled paper stock that's certified by the Rainforest Alliance. I use soy-based inks, which are much more environmentally friendly.

Artist Proofs are the first 25 prints pulled from each press run. They contain the pressman's color bars, which are used to ensure that the colors are true and the paper stays registered throughout the print run. The prints are numbered (1-25), dated and signed and contain the special "A/P" mark designating it as an Artist Proof.
First Editions, Limited Editions (i.e., 25th Anniversary Editions) and Artist Proofs are numbered.
The remaining posters are Open Editions and are not numbered.
Every poster is signed and dated.
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.
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.
A: Yes, 10% of the annual proceeds are donated to trusts, conservancies, and associations working to preserve National Parks.
