Who Is the Artist Behind the Posters of 1-Star Reviews of National Parks?

Amber Share is an American author and illustrator who started creating national park bad-review posters in 2019. She picked the worst one-star reviews from Google, Yelp, and TripAdvisor to create her humorous artwork. This culminated in a project called Subpar Parks based on her drawings. She also published a book pairing her illustrations with basic facts about the parks and inputs from park rangers. But let’s hear directly from Amber:

“I’m an illustrator, and I have always had a personal goal to draw all 62 US National Parks, but I wanted to find a unique twist for these poster designs. When I found that there are one-star reviews for every single park, the idea for Subpar Parks was born. For each park, I hand-letter a line from the one-star reviews alongside my illustration of each park as my way of putting fun and beautiful twist on the negativity.”

Let’s take a whimsical journey through her artwork and laugh at these one-star reviews of national parks that will make you question the sanity of the folks who left them. Share it with your friends so that they get a kick out of the weird reviews that people leave.
