Up for bid: 30 x 20 License Plate Map of USA on Steel Slab!

Every once in a blue moon, I offer handmade original pieces to the highest bidder on eBay. Why? The reasons are twofold: I enjoy keeping track of the bidding action, and it often allows folks to pick up a piece for themselves at a steep discount. Today, I've done it again.

This map is in stock and ready to ship now! You will get the actual one pictured, as opposed to most of my other listings where the pieces are made to order.

The lower 48 states are represented by vintage license plates cut with precise detail by hand and assembled together like a jigsaw puzzle.

This 30" x 20" license plate map of the United States is stunning and mounted on a 3/4" deep wrapped canvas made of dull 24 gauge industrial steel. Comes ready to hang using solid D-ring hooks.

Please note the steel sheet canvas has some minor natural imperfections including scratches, smudges, and dents due to the recycled handmade nature of the piece. These are all perceptible to varying degree in some lighting and from some angles.

An instant conversation piece and a lifetime of enjoyment in any home or office.

Happy that my work will get this type of exposure at such a cool company. Enjoy and stay tuned for more pics and info.

Biggest License Plate Map... Ever?

I've been making maps for a long time now out of license plates. Up until recently, the biggest size I'd conquered was 5 feet wide. I'd seen a couple photos out there of 1 or 2 maps that exist that measured twice or three times that. But, I never figured I'd be involved in making one myself!

So, a previous client called and asked, "Just how big of a map COULD you make?"

And so, this project began. Months later, I am ready to ship out a map made of license plates that is 10 feet wide by 6 feet high, and weighs well over 100 pounds. It heads onto a freight truck this week for a trip out west to California, where it will adorn the walls of an aviation company's lobby.

This project was a massive challenge: from the scale of the states, to the concept and creation of a board big enough and strong enough to hold itself up. Check some of the in-progress photos I snapped below. Hope you enjoy!

Contest Time!
