This is a linocut by Jess Baker
Outside of my GIS job, I am also an artist! Here’s my latest design – a huge A2 linocut piece celebrating the unspoiled beauty of Antarctica. The contour lines on the map are even geographically accurate, would you believe.
Pretty cool detail for a linocut. You could order a copy here – nice present for the map lover in your life.
Abi shared these vintage globe Xmas tree decorations. A great start to this year’s 12 Mappy Days of Xmas
You would expect my co-editor Ken Field to have some Mappy Christmas decorations and here they are.
Have a good one!
My friend Abigail Page was missing her team’s face to face Christmas gathering which had to switch to virtual so she made this Origami Christmas Tree from an old map.
Seasons greetings to all of our readers, we are going to shower you with mappy posts over the next 2 weeks to make this a MAPPY CHRISTMAS

At 52 north. More or less exact. #mapsinthewild or at least #lattitudeinthewild
Hans van der Maarel shared this tactile map.
In Zwolle for a short cycling trip, couldn’t resist taking a photo of this tactile historic city model on the street #map #cartography #citymodel
Reinder Storm sent me this from the Dutch Royal Academy of Arts Graduate Show. I’m puzzled.
Reinder Storm sent us this.
In the restaurant at the former island of #Schokland, the lights on the ceiling have the maplike / cartographic outline of the island
You have to look carefully to see the similarity.

Spotted this wonderful #mapsinthewild at Kidderminster Carpet Museum (@MuseumofCarpet) last weekend. According to the display “Aerial view of the Ulster Carpets design for the Sacramento Airport Carpet”.
