The second of two illustrations celebrating Canada’s national parks, CAPE BRETON HIGHLANDS NATIONAL PARK.
I visited this park for the first time this past June, the first time I’d seen Canada’s East Coast. This park is notable for a lot of things – the surprising diversity of its natural features, its changeable weather, the consistency of the tumbled round pink stones along the coastal beach trail – but my favourite was the old trap floats (?) that were used as trail markers.
If you’d like a print, I’ll have them at the Artbreakers Illustration Market in Vancouver this weekend, September 22nd and 23rd at the Main Street Heritage Hall. Entrance is free, and there’ll be loads of extremely talented illustrators there, showing off their work.

In the spirit of “make the thing you want to see,” I’ve made two illustrations each celebrating one of Canada’s National Parks.
Here, the first: PACIFIC RIM NATIONAL PARK RESERVE. Located on the Western Coast of British Columbia’s Vancouver Island, it is 511 square kilometers of serene, rugged beauty. Wikipedia.
Come see this work in person at Vancouver’s Artbreakers Illustration Market - Sept 22-23rd at the Main St Heritage Hall. Entrance is free, and there’ll be loads of extremely talented illustrators there, showing off their work and making prints available for sale.
