Writer-illustrator Anne Emond, who is based in Brooklyn, did this amazing Mental Map comic that really hits it right home. Who hasn’t overstayed their time at the I-Spend-Too-Much-Time-Online Falls, the Mountain Range of Impotent Rage or the Waves of Depression? Good thing there’s the River of Pleasure in the Small Things too.

Some people just aren’t satisfied with regular street maps and London-based designer/illustrator Jenni Sparks is one of them. Sparks has created an illustrated map of New York City that is amazingly detailed: labelled landmarks, coloured subway lines, and a little bit of humour for good measure. We think this would look great in any Manhattan loft. Good thing you can buy yourself a copy.

After discovering UK creative collective Dorothy from their Coal Globes work, they’ve made our little hearts jump again with the Film Map, a fictional street map comprising of over 900 film names. The Lost Highway runs parallel to Sunset Boulevard, and Shutter Island and The Island of Dr Moreau are both located within the deep waters of Reservoir Dogs, naturally. It’s just the most awesome map we’ve seen this year (aside from the Apple iOS 6 maps, of course). You should check out the Song Map too, while you’re at it.

Owen Gatley, an illustrator based in Berlin, has made some wonderful maps of London, Paris and New York. Using symbols to show where major landmarks such as London’s Big Ben and New York’s Statue of Liberty are, Gatley has created a unique view of the famous cities. The maps were featured in the Luck issue of Ideas Illustrated. We wonder if anyone’s used them to get around the cities?
