If you're tired of look at boring and plain maps, artist Wendy Gold has the cure -- butterflies.
The butterfly map injects a sense of whimsy and beauty into traditional maps. The map itself looks almost as if it's being swarmed by actual butterflies with each region attracting its own unique colors. However, even with the butterflies, Wendy Gold manages to still give her butterfly map a striking vintage look that gives the map an almost academic quality. The map is printed on heavyweight recycled stock canvas with water-based inks.
Wendy Gold's butterfly map may not be useful if you're looking to use it as a reference, but perfect if you want to add color and style to any room.
