Because this always bears reblogging. Illustrates how cartography—specifically the ways in which cartographers shrink and expand land masses in order to depict a “flat” earth— distorts our perception of the world.

One of my favorite maps of all time.

wow. This is probably the most exquisite map/compass tattoo I’ve ever seen. By Lippo Tattoo, though I don’t know anything else about it.

Typewriter Series #195 by Tyler Knott Gregson

ryandonato:

Spanish illustrator Fernando Vincente gave a whole new meaning to the phrase, ‘seeing the world with a different eye’ by painting various images over existing cartographs and maps. He is creating animals, humans and objects out of the shape of different countries on the map. ‘When I paint I like to do on printed materials, is a way to unite my passion for topics such as anatomy, mechanics and my hobby for collecting posters, maps, atlas geographic and geographical anatomy with my work’, he states. Vincente collected his unusual canvases on flea markets in Madrid (called ‘Rastro’), in shops and antique fairs. With his series he aims to create something new and unexpected out of the common shapes.

This is usually what I point to when people say, “The country of Africa.”  Because if I’m horrified by the idea of people thinking I’m Californian, we should probably figure out the difference between Uganda and Somalia.
