Buff Canada Collections
BUFF Canada was searching for a special way to illustrate, (literally), the many iconic landscape regions of Canada for Canada 150.
The vintage-y style of my Canada’s Parks Posters was a great fit for what BUFF had in mind, so they asked me to design the special collection.
The BUFFs were successful enough that they had me design a Canadian Collection for 2018. You can read about the inspiration behind the designs at Canadian Traveller.
