Ethereal Cartography by Ben [Sunshine]
June 24th, 2009 12:27 AM
So, this task really leapt out at me as something I wanted to do. I love cartography, and I love trying to conceptualize relationships between different areas of thought. I spent hours coming up with various ideas as to what I could map out--the webcomics of the internet, for example. But I started planning it out, and came up with so many overlaps and intersections that I realized I couldn't possibly draw the map as a two-dimensional piece. The next bunch of ideas all had the same problem--geekery? My hobbies? The various kinds of love? All so deeply interrelated internally, conceptually speaking, that I could never figure out clear divisions or continents within them. Plenty of crazy topography, but not any real sense of layouts.
Then 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!

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.
