Joshua Tree National Park poster

Located in the south east of California, Joshua Tree National Park was declared a national monument in. 1936, and a national park in 1994. The park is a very popular place for photographers to capture images of the night sky and the Milky Way, as the park is free of light pollution.

I’ve been enjoying making posters for different destination posters. I was searching for ideas and decided I really wanted to revisit the image I did of Joshua Tree National Park. National parks often makes really good posters, as they’re places people will visit. Also, I was really happy with the original image I made almost two years earlier, which can be seen below, but if I was to make it into an actual poster it would have to be partially repainted. It was also a good opportunity to see how my style has changed almost two years later.

Prints of this image, are available in my print shop. There you can also find more US National parks and landscapes.
