Michael Hemsworth — April 25, 2013 — Art & Design
Cartography is the fine art of making maps and this Tetris World Map is an updated, gamer-approved piece of work that'll delight any cartographers or gamers out there.
The Tetris World Map features the continents of the world swapped out for multicolored bits that many will recall from the classic arcade game. The print was created by artist Stephen Gowland of KIACO and available for purchase from their Etsy store where a number of other wildly imaginative world map designs are up for purchase.
One of the great things about the Tetris World Map is that it makes use of all the various Tetris game pieces to create every piece of known land on Earth. What better way to give the standard map of the world a little more character than to gamify it?
