United States Map as Art

At a recent birthday party, while my cake blazed like the wreck of the Hindenburg, I was gifted with a great book: The Map as Art: Contemporary Artists Explore Cartography (Thank you, Suzanne!). A related Web feature is available at http://www.womansday.com/Articles/Family-Lifestyle/10-Amazing-U.S.-Map-Artworks.html (the top Aaron Foster piece is behind the counter at the Smithsonian Museum of American Art gift shop, next time you’re in Washington, D.C.).

    Speaking of maps, were any of your presents wrapped in expired sectional/IFR charts?
    They make great wrapping paper.
