Ernold Same by Grandpa Snail 

Grandpa Snail (known as James amongst gastropods) has sent over his incredibly detailed illustrated map of suburban London. Inspired by the Blur song of the same name, the map captures the mundanity of the city's samey suburbs.

"A familiar sight in suburban London."

Thanks Grandpa Snail! I guess today will always be tomorrow.




U.S.A Map by Gabriela Nicole Gonzalez


This wonderfully textured map of the U.S was sent over by Gabriela. Whilst creating the map, she realised there is much of her own country she is still yet to see...

"Since I was really little, I have been very into traveling, and my family would take me on big trips to Europe or South America, places far away. As I've gotten older, my love for traveling has not faded at all and I've saved up my money several times to go abroad exploring new places and new faces. But recently it has dawned on me that I have not traveled much in my own country, so I am making it a point to explore the U.S. and what it's all about soon in my future."

Thanks for getting in touch Gabriela!

Seaside Map by Lucy Davidson

Lucy Davidson (aka Peas and Needles) sent over her lovely image of where she wants to live; by the sea...

"I've always wanted to live by the seaside in a big tall building right on the coastline. Where you would have views of all the boats sailing past and people swimming in the sea. This is my dream and where I feel happiest. Minus the seagulls though please."

The Village of Hartley by Kerry Hyndman

Kerry Hyndman has a large and impressive portfolio, and now it's just got even more impressive with this fantastic map of Hartley...

"This is where I grew up and where my parents still live. I didn't realise until I moved away how great it was to have friends and family living so close by. Even though when I was growing up it felt like everybody knew what I was up to! I've made it look at lot more picturesque that it actually is. But in my mind it's pretty idyllic!"

Where I Grew Up by Timothy Hunt

Tim got in touch via Twitter to contribute to the Maps project, and this is his awesome creation.

"The map is of the village where I grew up, the forest was very scary and there were a lot of strange stories about ghosts and all sorts of weird things.
I made up the lake, there wasn't one, but that is all that was missing. There were lots of open fields of grass and some filled with crops, getting chased by farmers was a regular occurrence."

Beautiful, simple and great colours; Nice work Tim!
