I’ve been thinking a LOT about maps lately. I’m taking a class that focuses on creating artwork in a series and I’ve chosen maps as the theme for my series. I’ve spent the last few weeks fully immersed in maps—poring over maps, scanning maps, sketching maps, abstracting maps. I think my two favorite kinds of maps are topographic maps and street maps. With so many maps on my mind, a street map seemed appropriate for the Illustration Friday theme of transportation.

I like this-it's really pretty, nice job on the gradation and I love the pen color you chose. I love maps, too!
I like the lines and colours.
I like your map, colors are nice. Artist Saul Steinberg (1950s - 60s) drew nice maps too. Join me on http://twitter.com/ObsessCreative

That's cool, sounds like a fun class. Maps are very interesting and I've seen many beautiful ones, sort of combining art and science.
