Ed Fairburn is an english artist who creates portraits out of maps. He uses the details in the maps also as details in the face. In order to get perfect results, Fairburn uses specific additive and subtractive techniques. I find his artwork inspiring because it is very creative and appealing to the eye. It's amazing how the map and the portrait become one. It's as if the map and portrait are two puzzle pieces that fit perfectly together. These portraits are also environmentally friendly because they involve the reuse of old maps.
