San Francisco Map Letterpress Print LAST ONE
Artist’s description: “San Francisco is still one of my favorite cities to explore. It's exactly the right size to bike, walk, bus/drive. It's safe & cohesive enough to meander without feeling stranded/alienated. This map is based on my explorations, along with help from people who have lived in the city.”

From the artist: “Information is more fun to read when it's beautiful. I've designed these charts and maps with hours of research, reassembling data into a brain-friendly aesthetic. I edit the information significantly, avoiding the "dazzle" effect which occurs when our eyes are battered with too much information. Letterpress makes it even more gorgeous.”
About Letterpress Printing: “Letterpress is a very complicated and expensive printing method that I am obsessed with. All letterpress prints are slammed with 600 pounds of pressure, creating a deep, tactile texture. The ink gets embedded into the thick soft paper so it won't fade within your lifetime.”
