Map of the stars above your grandparents' house, 2:20am, 2nd April 2010 by Alex Synge

Alex got in touch with the project to share his map of the stars. His beautiful and technical pencil drawing answers the question of belonging wonderfully, while his title gives us a more anchored clarification. Lovely stuff, thanks Alex!

Tokyo by Andrew Joyce

It's really exciting to receive the first submission to Maps. Andrew Joyce sent over his map of tokyo, a city where he spends a lot of time visiting friends and family. A place he feels he belongs to, Andrew says "It has become a bit of a second home. Although I may never blend in, it's somewhere I have come to feel very comfortable in as well as endlessly fascinated with."

Thanks Andrew!
