Sonoran Desert Travel Poster, Cactus Illustration

The Sonoran Desert gets the flat color and simplified forms of a mid-century travel poster, with cactus as the clear subject. The style trades detail for graphic punch, which is exactly what makes vintage travel posters work on a wall.

Stair walls and hallways suit posters like this, and it also fits a study, office, or mudroom near hiking boots and maps. Hang it with other desert or regional posters to build out a travel wall over time.

Desert hikers, Arizona and California natives, and vintage-poster collectors are the audience. It works as a present marking a trip to the Southwest, or as the opening piece in a travel-poster gallery someone will keep expanding.
