I've followed Anton's progress over the past 4 years and I'm in awe of his artistic skill and execution of this mammoth project. I now have one of his limited editions on my wall, it is truly awesome.

I could look at this map all day and feel nostalgia.

I have been to Lithuania many times but had not heard about this pyramid. It is wonderful to see so many people absorbing its energy and being healed.

Canadian Birdy very cool. The map is very intriguing with the cultural detail. Nice to see a glimpse of level headed and joyous characters among our unique institutional culture. next generation guidance

Thanks Atlas Obscura for this story! I often use your site for deciding where to go and what to do during my travels.
Gladly I will check Anton's Web site.

Rather than seeing this as disappointing (a comment below), I see it as a different kind of map, and a wonderful one at that. I enjoy a good traditional map, also, but this is a real treat.

I’m drawing a map that looks just like this!😀
