Jimmy partnered with National Geographic to create a visual series capturing the spirit of the Amazon through bold, modernist illustration. Each poster distills a different facet of the rainforest—its waterways, wildlife, waterfalls, and vast geological forms—into simplified shapes and vibrant, contemporary color palettes. The series transforms one of the world’s most complex ecosystems into a sequence of striking, graphic impressions.

Working in a style reminiscent of mid-century travel posters, Thompson reduces the Amazon’s overwhelming detail into clean vector forms, layered color fields, and atmospheric abstraction.
• One composition reimagines river deltas and sediment patterns as a flowing map of organic shapes.
• Another frames a winding river in deep jungle shadow, punctuated by a parrot silhouette and soft pink water that glows under the canopy.
• A third spotlights a monumental waterfall rendered in cool blues, its mist and cascading planes suggested through overlapping gradients.
• Others portray the region’s open waterways and horizons through bold contours and minimalist geometry.

Across the series, Thompson balances narrative clarity with artistic restraint. The work isn’t a literal documentary representation; instead, it evokes the feeling of the Amazon—humid air, dense foliage, shifting light, immense geological scale. Each piece carries the unmistakable National Geographic visual identity, enhanced by Thompson’s refined sense of color, composition, and visual storytelling.

The result is a cohesive collection of modern travel-inspired posters that invite viewers into the Amazon not through realism, but through atmosphere, mood, and design.
