It takes not just enough but an incredibly long thread of patience to draw a map with your bare hands. Well I guess, illustrator Jenni Sparks had a lot more than that when she worked pretty hard to complete this hand-drawn  map of the old London town. Sparks was commissioned by art print retailer Evermade to produce a London map aimed at capturing the essence of London's landmarks, meticulously highlighting its boroughs and neighborhoods as well as its hallmarks that make the place a unique city as it is.
