Amazing Paintings with inlaid Maps
Posted by Michael Gaigg
Patriarch (original), 2006 Inlaid maps on panel
What an amazing find (once again thx to Nick Furness).
Matthew Cusick created these astounding paintings and collages using inlaid maps.
I love map art (does this word exist already?) - do you guys know more? Send it to me and I'll post it here, can't wait for maps to enter urban culture, maybe some map graffiti or street map painting on a sidewalk...?! 
15 Outstanding Examples of Braille in our World
Posted by Michael Gaigg
Braille can be found everywhere. Some findings are real gems, love the McDonalds braille lunch menu which is even advertised on drive-through windows in corporate locations - yes, exactly, didn't know they had driving test in braille yet. I'd actually opt for scratch and smell menus at McDonalds - ok, that's just me
Love the braille bikini as well. Enjoy!
