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 :-).

More sizes, download for mobile phone, play puzzle, send e-card, buy posters, bugs and more:

Thanks!

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.

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!

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! :)
