Google Maps is a trusted friend of hundreds of millions of people on our planet. This resource is one of the main sources of cartographic information on Earth. It is so popular that it has become objects for pop art creativity. For example, a series of posters by Christoph Niemann.
Christoph Nemann himself works as an illustrator for the New York Times. And during work, when you need some kind of cartographic information, everyone, of course, turns to Google Maps.
And Christoph Nemann decided to turn to this resource not only at work, but also in creativity. He created a series of humorous images based on or in his style.
I must admit, Nemann cannot be denied a sense of humor and intelligence. Each of these images of him carries a certain message. You just need to be able to read it. Of course, not all of them are clear to the residents of the CIS. But now, looking at the picture of the island on which there is a Reserve battery park, with an intricate interchange, which is an instruction for making an omelet or with a road between the settlements of Ping and Pong, it is impossible not to smile.
