Fifty-Nine Parks Print Series
There are some great prints in this series but the latest offerings have been decidedly boring and flat. For example, the Dry Tortugas National Park print is one of the uglier Charley Harper-esque imitations around. With Sand Dunes and North Cascades we are starting to see a generic copy and paste approach rather than a style. Kings Canyon National is barely cute, reminds me of Yogi bear. Statue of Liberty and the most recent arches are simply lacking any creativity--Lassen Park among others falls in this category too.
They need to stop producing prints that would be barely good enough to decorate a toddler's bedroom. The limited edition garbage is also silly, print them in two sizes or not. Given the direction they are going and the amount of prints left, I think people are going to lose interest fast.

It is hands down the coolest place I've been in Alaska. Fun fact, it's the largest of the national parks.

It's so good
Still debating whether I'll trim the title before framing...
Ha! I love these kinds of posts. And I would actually agree that Dry Tortugas is the worst of the series--but, ironically, because the style doesn't fit well with the rest of the series (though this poster seemed to want designs that don't all have the same look). I also find Crater Lake disappointing--simple in an uninteresting way. But the others are very nice. No one is going to hang all 59 anyway, but anyone who loves the Parks can find 3-5 that will complement each other very nicely on a wall. As soon as the regular Zion comes back in stock, I'll be putting together my wall of the ones I like best.danieldanger wrote:phalanx wrote:There are some great prints in this series but the latest offerings have been decidedly boring and flat.

I actually find the Crater Lake to be my favorite so far, but overall the series has been phenomenal.ethnosax wrote:Ha! I love these kinds of posts.

Crater lake is one of my favs as well.
