Charley Harper End Papers

End Papers by Charley Harper for Birch Fabrics is a glorious tangle of birds, bugs, mammals, plants, and all kinds of wonderfully strange little creatures, drawn from the illustrated endpapers of Harper’s Animal Kingdom. His signature geometric wildlife illustrations are packed together into one intricate line drawing, then rendered tone-on-tone across a seriously fantastic range of colors.

It is quintessential Charley Harper. He called his style “minimal realism,” reducing animals and nature to their essential shapes, lines, patterns, and color. Here, all of those individual little shapes overlap and interact until the print almost becomes a texture. From a distance, it reads like a sophisticated tonal basic. Up close? Owls! Rabbits! Fish! Birds! Bugs! Leaves! Tiny weirdos everywhere.

These are printed on Birch Fabrics’ premium 100% GOTS-certified organic cotton poplin, with a smooth hand and beautiful print definition.
