Also got frames at IKEA to frame two prints we recently bought for our bedroom. We saw these prints at the Cobalt: http://vimeo.com/36176776

Oh, and they’re the first letter of our names.

Transit Maps as Art
at Fab.com until tomorrow.

Paris, Washington, Chicago, SF, Moscow, New York and of course, London. A nice alternative to the “official maps.”

 Please stop making me want to go back to Paris. kthanxbye

Like this?

What order should I hang these in? I need ideas on the arrangement.

Finally hung my map of Paris.

The Great Vancouver Paint In, 1966 

When the BC government decided to install a fountain at the court house (now the art gallery), Premier WAC Bennett insisted that the work be kept secret until its official unveiling. In the meantime, a fence was built and Vancouver School of Art students were enlisted to decorate the fence panels. The art was a hodgepodge of styles that included a cartoon of the premier to a mysterious Picasso-esque nude. The secrecy around the fountain was widely criticized and for many the final product was less appealing than the paintings that adorned the hoarding.

Fadeout Design created maps out of typography for the transit systems of Boston, Chicago, London, New York City, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. The maps are minimalist in design and the lines are made up of strings of words that spell the station names for each transit system. “Art for transit enthusiasts” (via TheCityFix)
