Friday Favorite: Michael Tompsett

08/03/2012

This Friday’s Feature artist is Michael Tompsett!
I love his map art…particularly his world map creations!

He writes:
Art and design has interested me since an early age, so much so that art class was the one lesson at school I genuinely looked forward to every week.

After working as a senior designer in London for 12 years, Michael moved to Spain to pursue his art full-time!

TGIF!

Wonderful maps. I see a lot of these types that sell really good on Fine Art America. They are very popular at FAA. Nice post.
