Ikea bookends

Here’s to Bakersfield

Designer and illustrator Adrian Walsh started a little deal called The Everywhere Project. The Everywhere Project is a collaborative design project that pays tribute to the classic folk song “I’ve Been Everywhere” (made popular by Johnny Cash and Hank Snow, among others).

This piece was designed to communicate the difference between drought, food crisis and famine, some statistics, and what World Vision is doing to make an impact. Here are a couple detail screenshots:
