Created by Josh Gottsegen, Tropland combines imaginative storytelling and creative visuals to inspire and engage audiences. With millions reached on social media and partnerships with top brands, Tropland continues to spark wonder and promote meaningful connections across all ages
I use new creative tools to bring the wild to life in ways we’ve never seen before. What started as an experiment has grown into a global community of more than 700,000 followers and hundreds of millions of views.
My work isn’t traditional photography. It’s a mix of imagination, storytelling, and technology. Each image is hand-shaped, blending generative tools with my own artistic direction to create something that feels alive. The goal is not to replace art or nature but to celebrate them in a new form.
I built Tropland from the ground up through years of creative work and persistence. It began with the Joosh’s Juice Bartrilogy, a children’s series that encourages healthy habits through playful rhymes and vibrant characters. In 2020, I expanded that world with my first middle-grade novel, The Adventures of Rockford T. Honeypot, which became an Amazon #1 bestseller with hundreds of 5-star reviews for its heart and world-building.
In 2022, Tropland evolved from a forest into a universe. I began creating original digital wildlife visuals and videos, combining my storytelling with new creative tools to bring animals to life in unexpected ways. The work has reached millions of viewers and opened doors to collaborations with Adobe, OpenAI, and several major technology partners on upcoming projects.Tropland Universe continues to grow as a space for imagination, art, and innovation.
I’m always open to collaborating with brands and companies that share a passion for creativity and innovation. My work has attracted partnerships with leading organizations in the technology and creative industries, and I continue to collaborate on select new projects.
