Ethereal Cartography by Ben [Sunshine]
June 24th, 2009 12:27 AMThen I had a very silly idea. And proceeded to draw it. I'm a little surprised no one else has done this before, because it seems so very obvious!
An Ethereal World.

I had a lot of fun with it. I tried to draw a linguistic representation of the word--the H is within the T, building up to the central E, which dominates, catching the following R-E-A within its massive bounds. Beyond it, the L trails off into an archipelago. I had been coming up with clever linguistic jokes as names for the various mountains and inland seas, but I realized--such a world is entirely uninhabited, and to name its features would only take away from the ethereal heart of it. So the map goes unlabeled, remaining simply an open expanse of word.

Very nice! I love pictures that make use of original typography!
I like it. Simple yet elegant.
I would very much like to dive off the cliffs of the E atoll and spend the day exploring the bay of Big E and spend the evening relaxing by the shores of the inland lake A.
