The images above are details from a new map of London drawn by Fuller (aka Gareth Wood), a British map artist. The goal, Wood says, was to capture his relationship with the city over the past 10 years. “It’s about documenting a particular time and experience,” he says. “Our existence is so inconsequential in the grand scheme of things, that in a way what I feel like I’m doing is creating an artifact, something I can leave behind. There’s a certain romanticism to it.” Wood started making the map when he was 25. He’s now 34. During those years, he explored the city on foot and bicycle, taking tons of photos and notes, before drawing the map in black ink on archival mounting board. The original is roughly 3 by 4 feet.

An illustration for an airline magazine. Cool and colorful. It seems to be made with fabric. Actually my favorite one.
