Panem Map

I just finished the Hunger Games, the novel by Suzanne Collins, which was enjoyable if not exactly high fiction (or even medium fiction such as The Road).  Still always fun to run around in a dystopian future.  However it lacked a good map.  And all the internet’s homemade maps were less than stellar.  So I made one myself:

Ways Different Christian Denominations See One Another

So I made this chart after seeing the incredibly clever and funny one on people in higher education (link here).  No disrespect or dissention intended – merely using humor to offer another viewpoint on our differences. 

A Decade of Driving

I created a map of Laura’s and my road travels over the last decade. We have definitely covered a lot of ground in the last ten years (and I am grateful for all the opportunities) but as this map shows there is a lot more ground to cover (and this is only the U.S.).

The Selected Works of T.S. Spivet

I just finished reading the debut novel of Reif Larsen. It was pretty amazing and I highly recommend it. I couldn't resist producing an illustration (and I apologize in advance for those who are easily offended by strong language or insects). For an explanation you will just have to read the book.

A dallas fort worth metroplex map that I just finished. It is done in the style of subway maps though I don’t think it makes anything any clearer. In fact I could have used it for this week’s IF.

Speaking of maps, Laura found a great website dedicated to the cartography of the weird:
