Largest Bankruptcies
I thought this one was kind of interesting, especially the play on the sinking ship. This was done by Always with Honor. First, I linked their article, and the next one has a link to their site with some of their other infographics.
Link is here.

The Map Sap
Being in this class has caused be to start seeing maps everywhere, and I've become pretty excited about them! I've posted some of the maps I've found here on the Mica Maps blog but I see so many things that interest me that posting them all here would constitute major spammage. Therefore, I've decided to make my own blog, The Map Sap, specifically for sharing illustrative and/or conceptual maps! There are already about 30 posts. The most recent one is a beautiful map of Europe by Sanna Mander:
Hope to see at The Map Sap!
PS: You will notice a couple of our classmates' work on The Map Sap. I'm not playing favorites! I only blogged them over others because their work was already posted on Tumblr and it was easy to reblog!

Freaky Fauna
One of my spring break missions (along with completing some unfinished work for classes and cleaning my bedroom) is catching up with all the blogs I follow on Tumblr, an activity I generally don't allow myself to indulge in when school is in session.
While checking one Tumblr, Freaky Fauna, I came across some wonderful maps I thought I'd share with you! (Click here if you want to see everything tagged under cartography, but I suggest checking out the rest of the blog. Awesome stuff!). All these images and their descriptions are copied from Freaky Fauna.
West side to East side.
From The Stars: A New Way To See Them by H.A.Rey (1952).
A Burmese map of the world, showing traces of Medieval European map-making
Endpapers from The Bamboo Bird by Melville Colley (1947).
SYNTHETICA, the relationship between the synthetic substances.
Map of an invented land by Boris Arztybasheff, Fortune magazine October 1940.
EDIT: Looky what I just found! They've got a tag for infographics, too! Not a huge collection but still some pretty cool stuff!
EDITEDIT: It just occurred to me that I should post a link to my tumblr! Please add me! Like I mentioned earlier, I don't use it much during the semester but when I do it's pretty swell, I must say.

Heart of the Nation
I was looking through past American Illustration pieces the other day and found this map. Unfortunately they didn't include the artist's name next to the work, only an email: maren@redeyereps.com
