Las Vegas Map 17.5"x17.5" Screenprint

Las Vegas reminds me of the Big Bang. The Vegas Strip is a tiny, super-compact chunk of energy that acts as the epicenter of an urban explosion that has since scattered itself around the desert universe. This print measures 17.5"x17.5" and is printed on Neenah Classic Crest paper. Also available as a letterpress print: https://www.etsy.com/listing/187777671/minimalist-map-of-las-vegas?ref=shop_home_active_19 Framing: These prints fit in an Ikea frame, but you'll need your own matting (I suggest getting a mat cut from your local framer) http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/20078050/#/20078050 We also offer framing through Mel's Frame Shop in Portland, Oregon: https://www.etsy.com/listing/231444708/framing-for-archies-press?ref=shop_home_feat_4 What's the big idea? New research indicates that GPS's are hindering our ability to create mental maps of our surroundings. My maps aim to install a "Map from the Mind" for each city, simplifying structures and districts in the simplest terms. The circle, our Universe's softest shape, clearly conveys size and connections.
