Charley Harper's Sticky Critters, Volume 2: Animals in America's National Parks Sticker Kit

In this sticker kit, we’ve provided lots of shapes to form pictures of 12 different animals found in America’s national parks: mountain lion, raccoon, red fox, great horned owl, opossum, cottontail rabbit, black bear, deer, ground squirrel, bobcat, marmot, and gray wolf. Artist Charley Harper captured a critter’s character by highlighting its easily recognized features—the spots on a fawn, for example, or the wide-open eyes of a great horned owl. This sticker kit gives you the opportunity to piece together these geometric shapes to re-create his wild creatures.

Charley Harper

Midcentury modernist Charley Harper (American, 1922–2007) portrayed the natural world with heart and humor. In vivid colors and simple shapes, his cardinals, ladybugs, and clever critters have become icons of wildlife art. His illustrations were published in magazines and books, notably Ford Times and The Giant Golden Book of Biology. A longtime conservationist, Harper created posters for more than 50 nature- and conservation-oriented organizations. His US National Park Service posters—massive, requiring a year each to paint—showcase delightful depictions of entire ecosystems in a style he defined as “minimal realism.” In his adopted hometown of Cincinnati, his public works are the legacy of an artist truly beguiled by the wild, one whose art was a quiet catalyst for ecological action.
