This Friday’s featured artist is Archie Archambault and his brilliant letterpress circle maps!
I love the balance, rhythm and movement, and colors of these maps!

On his website, Archie explains:
SO WHY ALL THE CIRCLES?
New research indicates that GPS's are hindering our ability to create
mental maps of our surroundings. My maps aim to install a
"Map from the Mind" for each city, simplifying structures and districts in the
simplest terms. The circle, our Universe's softest shape, is the clearest
graphic to convey size and connection.
