I’ve been doing an awful lot of trudging through code lately. And that’s alright, I guess. But I realized the other day that I’m quickly feeling out of touch with tangible design tools. So, in an effort to get back into static map design, I’ve decided to attempt to design a series of bogus art maps (of the lower 48) until I run out of artists, time or interest. Essential to this effort is that I do not get carried away making them perfect emulations of style. So don’t get your hopes up that I will actually fool someone into thinking that Duchamp made a map of the lower 48. Unless… wait, did he? I started to read some tome the other day about Seurat’s color theory… yeah, no. I’m not going to get that detailed. Call them mock maps. Call them nonsense or meaningless. I won’t be bothered; I’ll have to agree.
Day 1: Mondrian
Day 2: Seurat
Day 3: Malevich
Day 4: Rothko
Day 5: Braque
