Description
(The New GDG book, Girls Drawin Girls Volume IV:The Way Nature Made Her, is now available for preorder!
Head over to the GDG blog to find out more and place your order.)
My pin-up piece for the next Girls Drawing Girls ( [link] ) book- we've got a plant theme this time around so I, a fan of conifers, grabbed the Douglas Fir.
I absolutely adore the National Park Service- Bryce Canyon specifically- so this project rapidly became an excuse to draw park rangers and the southwest. The choice to do it in the style of the inimitable WPA posters was an easy one- they're still some of the most compelling advertisements for the parks.

This is so neat! Very old poster style! I'm from around Lake Michigan and we always see the South Shore posters, and this reminds me of them a great deal! Lovely work!

This is lovely and oh-so-stylish. It looks like an ad from the WPA in the '30's. Very retro, very cool.

Love Bryce Canyon, and love your poster. Top notch. I wonder if you could make it a print without the park service getting uppity... or if they'd like it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The park service doesn't seem to be the type to get "uppity" about copyright infringement- I've sold a few prints already, though it has crossed my mind to have some of the proceeds go to the parks, just for fun. They're very close to my heart.

OOOOOooooooOOOOOO I love this, and totally agree, the WPA posters rock my socks. Are you planning on doing more?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I might- I have a few more sexy ranger lady sketches lying around and it'd be a shame not to use them. Maybe Arches or Zion? Not quite sure yet.
