Michael Tompsett – Butterflies Map of the World

Art and design were Michael Tompsett’s favourite subjects school and he was fortunate after leaving University College London to land a job as a graphic designer at one of London’s most prestigious publishing companies. After 12 highly enjoyable years he took the decision to pursue a full-time career creating his own artwork.

The freedom and time to be able to focus solely on his own projects has proved wonderfully liberating. His favourite subject matter is maps. – Maps are a visual representation of the world we live on, a world which is incredibly diverse and Michael Tompsett enjoys looking at unique and interesting ways to depict this diversity. 

 

Butterflies Map of the World is a map of the world made up from colourful butterfly silhouettes on a vintage style background. The piece is printed on PREMIUM FINE ART PRINT, luxury heavywight 310gsm, 100% cotton rag, lightly textured fine art paper. Michael’s full range of prints can be viewed and purchased from Union Art.
