Mowing my yard, I spotted a rusty piece of metal. I always remove anything that could smash a window… and dug up a NYC Transit Authority “Bullseye” token from 1986 - in California, 3,000 miles from NYC. 1/3

Today’s (2025) Chicago transit lines, reimagined through a 1930s lens. Simple, elegant, retro. Where’s the Brown, Orange, Pink, Green, and Purple lines? Remember: I’m recreating a 1930 map, where lines had division names/colors. (1/2)

What if Chicago’s “L” map was redrawn in the style of the MTA Commuter Rail Map? Yup—I mashed up CTA + LIRR/MNR style into one bold 20”x30” print. Clean, geographic, trunk-line colors. Now on Etsy: (Link in bio)

Today’s NYC subway, reimagined in the style of the July 1968 Irving Trust map by Nester’s Map & Guide Corp. (defunct) Red = IND, Black = IRT, Blue = BMT, Green = IND/BMT. No trunk colors — just vintage vibes for modern service. 1st map: recreated for 2025. 2nd map is the original.

In the late ’70s and early ’80s, NYC introduced distinctive square subway entrance lamps as part of system modernization. I recreated both flat and glow versions of these iconic designs for a new poster and subway map cover concept. A small tribute to a unique era in transit history.

A few weeks ago I recreated the 1924 IRT map with today’s 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 & S services. Now it’s reoriented: north is up, labels adjusted, same vintage feel. Modern service, old-school style.

The IRT, redrawn in the style of its 1924 map but with today’s service. This one maps the current lines using the near-exact layout and visual feel of the old IRT map. I couldn’t replicate the org. hand type, so I used a close match (for now) but everything else has the 1924 vibe!

Maxwell Roberts’ schematic reimagining of NYC’s 1951 subway map was my spark. I took that same approach to modern Chicago—geometric, graceful, and grounded in *NEAR* real-world layout.

I recreated this unique map, which was proposed by the Subway Map Commitee to replace the Vignelli map of the 1970s. I highly recommend that you read the interesting story of how this map was discarded in favor of the trunk colors that John Tauranac wanted (by Peter Lloyd). 1/3
