Great idea, and I'm really pleased that I was the first one to know about this wallpaper from you. :-) Thanks!
Здравствуйте Влад, I was looking for such a map for quite a while, so thank you. Now that I see how you did, I don't know if I should dare a special request... it would ba a map rotated by 90°. Meridians would be parallels. I'm pretty sure nobody ever tried that ;-) Спасибо for your great work.
I hate that dotted lines! Make a version without them :(
Hi Vlad! I am a Kartograph. Where is Italy and Greece? Danemark is less smaller. But nice design. Next: Pegasus Galaxie??
you misspelt "VIET NAM" as "VITENAM"
The original idea was from Joaquín Torres García in «América invertida» (1943). More info → http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torres_Garcia
Well done Vlad. It's really nice
I saw that map just a couple of weeks ago. I love it!
I follow your work for quite some time. I can say I am a fan of your art. I love maps and I collect maps too, but this one... I don't know. I think it is a miss.. poor color choice, no debt in the expression... The 180-degree rotation is a good idea, but it is not enough.. something is missing. Hard to explain -maybe not possible at all- but I think you can do better than that. No offense, it is intended just a friendly advice.
Slovak Republic gone again...
hi dear vlad, nice design,
you missed serbia... and you have a lot of fans here...
Nice work and nice idea like always !!
oh god nooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! where is slovakia??? someone forgot that czechoslovakia is divided for 16 years... so sad
GAJA BOOOOuuuwwwwzzzzzzzzz!!!!!
ok, ok, ok... That's IT! you see that small island in front of Dominican Republic???? That's my birth place: PUERTO RICO. and FYI it is part of USA. Please fix that and we are all gonna be happy.
It's not often you find something this simple yet creative. Great, great work!
I had my globe at home turned this way. People always say it's upside down, but I always ask how do they know. An alien space ship cold come flying in with the South pole up and that would be thier first impression of the earth. They would say all our maps and globes are upside down.
hi vlad !! good Design !! :D
Vlad, great work and astonising design! I was even more surprised to know you are from Irkutsk. Best of luck. you are great.
Funny way to look at things.... XD
hi is a my map....
super!
good website
This is fantastic! When i get some more cash I'll register to support your work! Thanks!
我爱MAPS。 MAPS是好。
Beautiful - thank you - exactly what I was after for my desktop :) Being in Australia it's nice to not always be 'down under'. ;)
Wow! Africa looks like an old person! Crazy! :D
I love it! I can't believe it's been around for over three years and I never noticed! -_-
Waow! Excellent idea, and very nice work. Did you make the map? I love the way the coasts are "rounded"
Philippe: yes I made the map indeed :-) I took real world map, flipped it and used for reference. I outlines continents, then added colors, shadows, textures, then added all texts, then little objects.
I miss corsica... south of... hu I mean North of France.
Nice design, I like it that it's flipped over. I noticed the Netherlands on there too (Neth) well done! hehe.
Upside down - bah!!! I live in NZ - finally you have a map the correct way up!!!
Ah the world right way up for once and Pacific-centric as it should be! :D
Jo: good point! Hai Binh Nguyen: I knew I must make mistake somewhere! I'll fix it and upload new version. Fede: Thanks for the link, did not know that!
Brilliant, but I see you believe that global warming will melt the Arctic soon?
Great idea, and good job, but Hungary is strange... And I miss Croatia!
YIKES!! Vlad... This perspective is making me dizzy! I feel my world spinning... But it's FUN, like a carnival ride. :) Keep up your fine work. I enjoy it very much.
Wow, Russia looks BIG. Never realized it had a greater area than the European continent until now. (Actually it looks big on this map because of the projection: it's close to the pole.)
Totally...unable...to orient :D... Great piece of work.
he will add serbia, because we do belong to this upside down world :-)
Nice work Vlad, you are one talented dude. You mentioned that you took a real World map and outlined the continents. Did you have this real World map on another monitor, look, then copy, look, then copy or some sort of onion-skin layer and traced over it? Did you draw the continents using the Photoshop pen tool or literally just a painbrush to block them out? I'm just interested in your method. I'd love to see a tutorial on how you create one of your masterpieces one day? Please.
This is without a doubt your most astounding work. Better than They Stole the Moon. I am speechless.
very good art
nice !!!
For New Zealand, you have labelled one island as 'Steward Island'...it's actually 'Stewart' Island. As a Kiwi, I think it's great to see a map finally the right way up! Though perhaps the colours should be a bit different...the map is a bit overwhelming and complicated. Keep up the good work!
Hey, this looks really good. I was wondering, am I the only person who would love a map in this style the "right way up"??
Vlad, i consider you to be a great artist and a visionary. You've inspired my taste in everything and anything that concerns graphical forms around me. but please, PLEASE don't forget to draw Slovak Republic on your maps! ..it makes me feel like I'm forgotten... :-( Juraj
Интересная карта

I love this image. I haven't changed my desktop since I found this over a year ago, it's beautiful.
