Ed Fairburn is a freelance artist whose work is mostly figurative. He uses old maps to create his own custom human portraits. Choice, at least, is very specific and nonstandard.

Artist Ed Fairburn says “I paint, draw and construct using a flexible range of tangible media across a wide range of surfaces and contexts, allowing my practice to exist across various disciplines. The work I produce is largely self-directed, allowing me to explore a wealth of ideas and concepts which need to be realized.” We offer a small series of elaborate portraits drawn on vintage maps.
