OK, here’s all I remember. Around 15 years ago, I got a poster from the National Park Service that had a whole bunch of desert animals on it. It was done in sort of a semi-abstract style…I don’t know much about “ahhht” so I can’t describe it that well. It looked like something that was designed with a compass and straightedge, had lots of different animals and plants on it, and was very cool. I think the artist had done several different posters with different categories of flora/fauna (sea animals, jungle animals, desert animals, etc).

Now I am looking for art for my house, and I would love to find anything by this artist again, but I don’t know who it is! I have tried [art.com](http://art.com) and similar sites, but can’t find anything similar.

Anybody have any idea who I’m talking about?

I suspect the artist you’re thinking of is Charlie Harper.
