California by FBZ, originally uploaded by Fighting Tiger.

Fabienne (aka FBZ) of fabienne.us and HardHack (May 28, 29, @ C-Base) drew a map of California for the nottoscale project. The first Berlin Geek Picnic was rained out as you can see by the water stains on the map FBZ drew.

FBZ draws California from battlecat on Vimeo.

finland by Juho, originally uploaded by Fighting Tiger.

Juho and I met on a train from Kirkonummi around Juhannus (Mid summer) when I first lived in Finland.

I’d only lived in Finland for about 2 weeks but we already had mutual friends. And we both kept blogs.

Mine was about heartbreak and his was about wine.

We’ve seen each other only a couple of times since, but Juho was kind enough to email me this photographed map of Finland.

Marc and I are internet friends. We’ve never met in person – he currently lives in Tokyo and I currently live in Berlin.

He drew a couple of maps which he photographed and emailed to me.

Britain by Marc, originally uploaded by Fighting Tiger.

Marc and I are internet friends. We’ve never met in person – he currently lives in Tokyo and I currently live in Berlin.

He drew me a couple of maps the other day which he photographed for me.

He included Sunderland but not Newcastle, High Wycombe but not for example, Cardiff.

Earth, Berlin and Montreal

Earth Berlin and Montreal, originally uploaded by Fighting Tiger.
My 3 year old neighbour Milan drew this for me. It’s my favourite map so far.

The smaller squiggly bit with a dot in the middle is Berlin and the bigger one is Montreal (where he was born). The big circlish is earth.

The tree shaped thing may just be a tree.

It is a rather beautiful Italy. By a rather super classmate.

Andreas drew Germany

Andreas drew Germany, originally uploaded by Fighting Tiger.
I made Andreas draw me a map of Germany and its 16 states as well as all the neighbours.

In return I drew a map of Australia with our 6 states and 2 territories and no land neighbours.

I had the much easier task!

Australia by Me (April 09)

France, with details, by Medhi and Marion.

It’s not like I’m trying to put pressure on my map drawers or anything, but I like to say “So far, the French have drawn the best map, they put little wine bottles and Eiffel Tours on theirs.”

Sweden, by Magnus

One of my classmates from Babylonia drew me a map of Sweden.
