Artist Ed Fairburn does awesome things with maps.
The top two images are from his North America Series. They’re pencil drawings on climate charts of North America.
“The angled perspectives have been plotted to compliment the sweeping shape of North America,” he states, “the variations between the colors of Part I and Part II were a conscious decision; the warmer colors reflect a passionate pose while the colder blues suggest a more sombre mood.”
The second and third pieces were created in collaboration with Bobbie-Jo, Ed Fairburn’s partner and printmaker. The second is part of the Western Front Cutout Series and the third is entitled Stafford Lane. Both are ink drawings on old military maps that were then cut and layered over the more colourful North American climate charts.

The Singapore Blue(Lampropelma violaceopes) is a large, colorful arboreal Tarantula found in Malaysia and Singapore. They can measure up to a 25cm leg span and are popular as pets because of their color. There is a distinct difference between the two sexes as the male is olive green with faint yellow leg striation. Before sexual maturity both sexes will be a purplish-brown colouration. The deep royal purple will first be apparent with sexual maturity in the female and become increasingly deeper with each molt.
