Description
I stumbled upon this kind of map in souvenir shop in New Zealand. I immediately fell in love with this idea! Because I love maps; and I love when things suddenly go upside down; and I love when familiar things get unexpected look! This artwork is designed with large printing in mind - it will look perfect as large poster! On smaller screens, all details might look too little though. I hope you will enjoy it! As always, created in Photoshop, with Wacom. Work duration: 12 hours precisely (non-stop

What I have been searching for is a "middle earth" styled, modern, accurate map of earth with no political boundaries and this is the closest image out there and looks to be the only one as far as I could find. Though this piece does one better than what I was hoping to find in that I adore the upside down aspect - its nice to have a change in perspective that makes you rethink things

Back in high school, a teacher of mine had a map of the world that was like this on her wall. Always nice to get a new perspective on things!

What if North is South and South is North, and we've all been viewing the world upside down?

I made an account here so I could commend you on this beautiful work of art.
It is really nicely done. I love it how you kept with the older style of maps.

ohh.. one thing, the little island of new zealand is called "Stewart Island" not "Steward Island"

Another thought: of course the problem is that it's more difficult to see continental drift. You would have to do some extra mental shifting I believe.

The love to scan over maps, and you have so many cool ones that force us to view things differently.
New Zealand's should really like this one; it puts them into a central location. Australians as well! I guess we like maps that put us in the best spots.
China greatly benefits as well; they might even become the wealthiest nation in the world again in the future. Russia and Canada benefit a bit from the placement.
The USA gets pushed and warped into an sickly spot. We wouldn't like such a map at all!

So wierd how something you see/think about nearly every day becomes so unrecognisable

Brilliant! I've been looking for a good upside down map for a long time. Thank you for making your work available in high resolution so that I can admire it on my large computer screen while I save up for the large print!

It looks so weird our world, upside down. The top bit looks so empty. Great idea!! Did you do any editing or did you just flip it? It's a nice colour as well.

It's cool to see the world from a different perspective. Great execution as always.

Sweet, it really looks unfamiliar this way. By the way, my country is also mispelled. It shoud be LITHUANIA instead of LITVA.

12 hours of work, non-stop... Respect. Great wallpaper again. Full of details... Is Wacom a tablet? Was that deviation drawn with it?

Thanks! Yes I used Wacom Cintiq tablet. I wrote small review about this tablet - [link]

I understand that Wacom tablet is a great tool for you as a designer, but for me it would be only an expensive (really expensive...) electronic toy - I do not have any talent to draw. (or maybe I do not know about it
