Artwork doesn't have to be made with a brush and a canvas. There are times when a Sharpie marker and the side of a box are all you need. 

I was thrilled to find a giant cardboard box in the recycling and repurposed it as a canvas. I had the idea of a map floating in my head and got inspired to list the continents in a street art style after seeing the box. Integrating the names into the shape of the continents and lakes rather than superimpose the names over features was critical to the unique aspect of this design. I am very pleased with the final product and ended up framing it and gave it to my sister-in-law who now hangs it in her room.
