I guess I completely missed the fact that you love maps! My sister is a mapmaker (of the geo-political variety), so it's a growing fascination of mine as well. Check out these works (a conceptual series that makes use of maps):
Have you seen that book of maps from an imagined world? I can't remember the title, but I'm pretty sure 2 dutch (male) authors wrote it. I bought it for my dad at the Tate Modern and he flipped over it! Bet you would too :) Let me know if you want the title and I'll get it.

These are so pretty, I adore maps. I have some friends who have wallpapered the whole of there bathroom in old vintage maps - it looks amazing!
Very cool indeed. I wish I stumbled upon some cool map since I have no drawing skills whatsoever.
Hhaha you and my Dad need to meet, he's obsessed with maps too!
Wow, I can't imagine how much time and concentration it took to make these.
i found a hand drawn map of the US years ago in a book. I've been meaning to scan it and submit it!
that one that Michael did that's hanging on your wall? I LOVE that one. you should submit it!
