# Linocut, Typography, Paris

About four months has [Mark Andrew Webber](http://www.flickr.com/photos/markandrewwebber/) spent to design his new artwork and the past two months he carves it: An enormous linocut map of Paris!

But that’s not the highlight! The whole map is a typographic interpretation of the French street and building names. With its 1.8 metres across, it’s an fantastic artwork!

> “With this Paris map, I've tried my hardest to make it accurate, but I'm not a French speaker so it's bloody hard. It's just a lot of checking and I'd rather like the pieces to not have to be chopped up, as that kind of ruins it.” ([Mark A. Webber](http://creativereview.co.uk/cr-blog/2009/july1/massive-printer))

Recently, Mark is searching a giant printmaker (150cm+) to make some prints.
