BADLANDS NATIONAL PARK is the Lakota name *Mako Sica* — "land bad" — kept honest by terrain that wears nothing well. South Dakota's striped buttes were the world's richest fossil bed before they were a park; you can still find a paleontologist on most ridgelines, and a bighorn watching the paleontologist. The prairie above is older than the buttes below. Both pretend not to notice.
Rendered in a minimalist, vintage-inspired travel-poster style, this piece captures eroded buttes in their long horizontal stripes, mixed-grass prairie rolling away under a wide South Dakota sky. Bone white, ochre, dusk rose, and the soft green of late grass. A tribute to a landscape that has been giving up its dead for a very long time and looking good about it.
Collect your favorite national park destinations — from striped buttes to prairie horizons — as minimalist travel-style prints.
