Todd Cummings is an artist, native Vermonter, and owner of Forest City Designs, a paper goods, and apparel design business in Huntington, Vermont. He has been known to love spending time outdoors during all seasons, hiking, paddling, camping, skiing, and exploring. When not working in his studio or sharing his work, you might find him rambling the backcountry of his home state seeking inspiration in nature.
His work celebrates the wild, natural places of Vermont and New England and all that nature offers the mind, body, and soul. Cummings' technique is a fusion of photography and illustration. Using his camera, he gathers visual documentation of places he loves. Back in his studio, the artist uses these reference photos, digital drawing tools, and software to create modern illustrated, travel-style art prints and cards that reveal the essence of a place. Cummings' style is modern landscape realism inspired by American landscape painting, traditional Japanese printmaking, and the vintage travel poster genre including the illustrated National Park posters of the WPA in the 1940s.
