Lecture: Wild World: A Hand-Drawn Map Odyssey
Stanford ,
USAOrganisation: David Rumsey Map CenterAnton Thomas is an artist/cartographer from New Zealand known for his extraordinarily detailed illustrated maps, drawn entirely with colored pencil and pen. One of his maps is Wild World, a vast world map of nature that has 1,642 wild animals roaming it. A project first imagined in his childhood, the map took three years to complete and has gained overwhelming popularity.
During his talk, Thomas will dive deep into his story, from the endless details of Wild World to the managing of its popularity, from the psychological odyssey of three years drawing one map, to his search for new ideas in the Kenyan wilderness.URL: https://events.stanford.edu/event/wild-world-a-hand-drawn-ma[...]
