Threadless Loves Travel.

So anyway, for this contest I thought, 'Hey wouldn't that be cool if I could like draw every country and then draw a line connecting every country to all of its border countries?' and I answered myself, 'Yeah! that would be cool!.'

Go!

Eight thousand hours later I was finished.

193 U.N. recognized countries, plus Antarctica.

Countries in blue are pure island nations--no shared land borders.

Blue sections on black countries mark where a border is created by a major body of water.


Super large front view! Warning, it's super large.


Super large back view!

Ace. You nailed it really well.

thanks everyone! i also forgot to mention that they are all in (roughly) alphabetical order from left to right, top to bottom.

coool

SO MUCH WIN!

this is really great. I can really see this as a big gallery print. Very contemporary and sharp

+5. now that is what i call 'the new world order'. chaotic yet intentional. foreign but compelling. works as a flat abstract form as well as a layered literal concept. it's tee time - i want one

i love that your are mad enough to do a task like that, and survive. that must have been some undertaking!

Honestly, I think this kind of sucks as a design. I don't even think it is a design. It's a slogan. You subbed it in the wrong place. Just go to slogans and type "go"

Mind blowing

I've had a few of those, 'Hey,wouldn't it be cool...' type ideas myself, before realising the epic amount of work involved, and shamefully, never seen them through.

Well done

Where is Rwanda?

^5!$$

That's probably one of the coolest things I've seen.

awesome!

I can't even imagine where I'd start if I was crazy enough to attempt this! I love it though and I want one! p.s. who is that hot model of yours?

Ridiculous but amazing!

YES YES YES! $5

unique! 5

damn 5

Something this cool and well-deatiled and thought out should be illegal and make you legally insane. At least only one of those things are true. Amazing man, just amazing!

5$

crazy

Whoa.. this is a super concept!
$5

this is great. the attention to detail is sick.

plus, the model is hawt

Way cool, look really good!

Hats off, just for the effort. And the design. Nice one!

It really needs to be on a poster print. That would be awesome. Get on it Threadless!

Wow, what a lot of effort went into this. Great stuff!

whoa, nice job!

i would have $$5'd it except the model looks like a turd.

GENIUS

That's obsessively, crazy good
