My husband and I look at a lot of maps. For the next several years, we’re moving to a new locale every three months, plus we spend weekends exploring the areas surrounding wherever we happen to be living. Oh, and there are also all the future travel plans. Like maybe a stint in Thailand in 2013. ( I KNOW!.. so exciting!! ). We use whatever maps we can get our hands on.. Google maps online at home, GPS in the car and of course, our good ol’ reliable atlas. Currently, we’re pouring over maps as we anxiously await the locale of G’s next work assignment. A month from now I will be typing the Friday Faves from a whole new setting, crazy isn’t it?!
Turns out we aren’t the only ones inspired by maps. Check out some of my favorite artists who incorporate these geographic illustrations into their own artwork. Happy travels!
How about it, Artsies? Anyone mapping out adventures for the weekend? Have a maptastic artist to share? Do tell!
