Globes!!

So yeah, this happened. Took us 2 years, but we are finally here: we're selling globes with our very own river basin maps!

The globes are handcrafted in Germany, by the oldest globe manufacturer in the world. (It still feels really weird to say this. Like... my maps? on globes? made by Columbus Globus? no way!)

They are also the first ever globes that show all river basins of the Earth, nobody has made these before. And as we decided not to include any text or political borders, you can make sure they'll never get outdated, as other globes tend to.

Here is one of them in the making:

They also have a lightbulb inside, so they can be illuminated and used as an atmosphere lamp (or whatever you call those lamps that are not really / not only lamps).

It's been quite an effort to put everything together for this project, mostly because we had to work on it besides all the other stuff we've been dealing with in the last couple of years (like the ocean drainage basin maps you all liked so much, or moving and restarting our life and business in a new country). I'd appreciate if you could take a look at them, and share them with those you think would be interested in buying one. But no pressure, I'm already happy that you've stopped to read this post :)

Hey All,

So as I said a few days ago, we're adding a new dimension...

And the day has finally come! This is it! This is the day when we step out of the world of paper prints and 2D maps - and we step into the world of GLOBES! Real desktop globes you can touch and spin and put on your desk!

Like this:

We partnered with COLUMBUS Globes, the oldest globe manufacture in the world, to create the world's first ever river basin globes that show all catchments on Earth. This was an immense amount of work and we really hope you find them as beautiful as we do!

I'm going to share more details with you in the coming days, but I'm very tired today.

Meanwhile, you can visit our website for more info on the collab, or to check out all the globes.

Meanwhile, here's the latest version of the River Basin Map of the World, which I had to fully revise and update for this project we're launching on Tuesday.

Yesterday we uploaded it to the Map Shop as well, if you're interested in buying a print (or two).

Stay tuned!

This is not an ad.

or... it actually is, but it's my own :)

So I just want to tell you that all our new ocean drainage basin maps are available framed and with hangers as well. It's the same high-quality fine art print as before, but it's ready-to-hang!

Maps look quite nice with these hangers, too:

We're planning to update the whole product portfolio in our MapShop with at least these two options, so you will never have to worry about framing your Grasshopper Geography maps ever again. The work has already started in the background, so stay tuned!

You can check out all the ready-to-hang options here.

All you need in life is a color picker willing to expose you to the unbounded madness we call color vision.

me, absolutely clueless: "I want a color just like this one, but in red" color picker: Fuck you think you are, a Mantis Shrimp? Don't talk to me again until you can afford a wide gamut monitor.

i think that, if youre usamerican and any time someone calls out your lack of knowledge on global geography you start talking about how bad the usa education is and how its actually not your fault that you dont know what continent nigeria is on because you cant look at the google maps bc donald trump will personally shoot you, youre very annoying
