I stumbled upon Stephen Walter's work when I was searching the internet for world map's, which I'm going to have on the wall in my new bedroom(when I finally finish decorating). I discovered his work at and so say I. I've always had a fascination with geology, and maps come along with that.


Walter experiments with pencil sketches, mixed media and photography, sometimes combining all those elements. He messes around with things that can trick the eye at first glance, forcing the viewer to take a second look. All is not what it seems. I just love it.


The piece named, "There Must be a Wilderness Out There, Somewhere" is actually a photograph with has been layered up with acrylic paint and along with Hub, is one of my favourite. If you visit Stephen Walter's website you can see close-up detail shots of each piece of his work. I suggest you all zoom into some of his map work, the intricate detail is just amazing. As always, well I see sometime I like I will have to have a go myself.


I'll leave you with a little lost alien guy that landed on my desktop;

Anyone want to name him?
