Yesterday, I shared a cut out road map I made of Savannah, Georgia along with other maps throughout our home. Many of you seem to have a similar weakness, so I decided to share some of my favorite maps. Check out Ork Posters for typographic map posters.
These hometown hearts map prints from CAPow on Etsy are too sweet.
This I’m So Happy print by Two Sarahs is perfect for those in Oregon. If you like this, check to see if you can get a custom print of your state.
How about a state watercolor painting from Poppy and Pinecone? Love!
While searching Etsy, I found another map cut out artist, Studio KMO also has map art prints.
City Sketch notecards by Architette could be framed to make an art piece.
Map letters from Little White Dog would be a fun addition to any home.
Do you have a favorite I didn’t mention? Any new favorites? Do you prefer vintage maps? Typography? Globes? Art prints? Have you made any map art recently? On a similar note, how about constellation art? I’m thinking I need to add some to our house. Let us know!

/ March 11, 2011My neighbor is a 95-year-old cartographer and he is STILL to this day hand-drawing maps! They are truly amazing works of art done with ink on mylar (no computer whatsoever), just like he’s done them for over 60 years. I never thought twice about maps until I saw the ones he makes. Now I’m smitten!

/ March 15, 2011I have an Etsy shop that I have started making state pillows, with hearts on cities. I currently have Minnesota, Iowa, and Illinois, but am slowly growing the collection. These are my favorite, because it is functional art. I started these states when my best friend moved from Minneapolis (where I am) to San Fransisco. I made her a Minnesota pillow with a heart on the Twin Cities, so she will always think of me when she sees it…

As a bit of a map nerd I love them all, but the Paris map by Studio KMO is particularly stunning.

Thank YOU so much for creating such beautiful map art and sharing it with us! The Paris map is really great, huh. So time consuming, too!
