Boston Valentine, altered map of Boston, quotes from Bostonians on back
Description
Because Boston is love.This is an authentic map of Boston, originally rendered in 1814, which I altered by digitally painting specific streets red. The result is an image of an anatomical heart which encompasses Boston Common, the Public Garden, the Financial District, Chinatown, the North End, sections of the South End, Longfellow Bridge, and highlights routes to Charlestown, Fort Point, and South Boston.
I made this as a tribute to the city which I love dearly and am selling copies in order to fund my move back to Boston.
I will be moving back--so long, New York!--in summer of 2009 and all sales of this altered map will go toward getting me there. After my move, this piece will no longer be for sale on Etsy but, with luck, I'll be selling them at the South End Open Market.
So if you love Boston or a Bostonian (or me), purchase a copy of this map, and help send me home.
-----
On to the official stuff. Each map will be printed on white card stock, which measures 8.5x11 inches and is suitable for framing. They will be signed and dated on the back and will feature a quote from a famous Bostonian. Perhaps yours will have an Edgar Allan Poe quote or maybe it'll be from Leonard Nimoy instead. I don't know yet. I take requests.
Your map will be packaged in a protective mailer to insure the safety of its arrival.
If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask.
Thanks for looking and for helping a transplanted Bostonian get back to where she belongs.
