About Wetlands

Trash Ocean.webp__PID:e28cfe8c-2f71-40c4-b090-bf202d06a6b5

Our oceans and our freshwater lakes and rivers are as fragile as they are beautiful. They are slowly being strangled by micro-plastics, pollution, chemical runoff, human waste, heavy metals, fertilizers, hormones, pharmaceuticals and industrial dumping. Overfishing and overexploitation of vulnerable marine resources has decimated certain fish and sea life populations. The human footprint is lasting. WetLands was created to raise awareness through art and action. We want to turn the tide. Conservation begins locally. It’s as easy as buying a tee shirt.

The Art

Rory Hilton Todd is the artist and the creative mind behind the Wetlands brand. He has dedicated thousands of hours to creating works of art that have revolutionized design and sustainable garment construction in the outdoor lifestyle and sports fishing markets. Each piece of artwork is a meticulous portrayal of the diverse and wondrous habitats that surround us. They begin with a simple sketch and evolve into finished works that swim right off the page in unmatched detail and composition. The artist grew up surfing and fishing off the snow white shores of the Florida panhandle. The Gulf of Mexico is one of the most diverse ecosystems on the planet and most of the incredible marine species found on this site are indigenous to his home state of Florida. Simply put, he illustrates “what he knows best.”

There’s no denying that what makes our product so unique is the aesthetic. No one can match the quality of our marine art or garment design. Each of our performance pieces is a well-thought, wearable artwork. It all starts with the details. The artist meticulously researches each species he illustrates, combining his personal knowledge and experiences with a passion for color and composition. From initial sketch to printable art, the process is relatively simple. The first step is to visualize the layout and sketch a quick rough draft. Second, the artist isolates each element into a layer and creates detail using texturing and digital airbrush. Details like scales and corals are painted individually, cloned and then turned into brushes for incredible realism and detail. Layer by layer, hour after hour, the image takes shape. After +40-80 hours of work, the final art is then compressed from a canvas of 6ftx4ft down to 24” at 300dpi for a photo realistic finish. Every illlustration is a labor of love as you can see below.
