Artist Chris Robitaille has intricately detailed many of our planet’s most famous natural landscapes, historic architecture and iconic wildlife; and the end result is a stunning example of illustrative excellence that will no doubt make any home, office, hotel, resort or cabin a conversational center.
Striving to find a balance among cultures, religions and physical geography, Xplorer Maps has prominently highlighted stunning natural wonders and political, religious and cultural landmarks recognizable to travelers worldwide.

A lot of map art is simply stock or "open source" imagery with a logo or small piece of custom art overlayed so that it can then be marketed as "original, custom, art". Xplorer Maps is different. Every single line, letter and image has been intricately rendered entirely by hand. Each is unique and original to every new map we create. These maps are truly custom and one of a kind!
The medium used by world-renowned illustrator Chris Robitaille for these hand-drawn maps is pen & ink with multiple layers of watercolor washes. Depending on the depth of detail in the map being rendered, the actual art process takes anywhere from 5-8 weeks.
The end result is an entirely custom, unique and original piece of art that has been fully vetted for "educational merit, historical and geographic accuracy and cultural relevance.
