Description
The streets and buildings of Taipei are captured in this intricately detailed drawing. It stretches from the modern high rises of Xinyi to the dense lanes of Wanhua. Familiar landmarks include Taipei 101, The Presidential Palace, Main Station, Longshan Temple, and Da'an Park. The level of detail is such that you may be able to see your own house on it! This is the third edition (2024)
This map took many hours of exploring and drawing to create and was entirely hand-drawn. It makes a fantastic addition to any home and works well in both sleek, minimalist interiors and also cozier ones.
Custom sizing is possible so whether you're looking for a large centerpiece or a detailed work for an alcove I can make it.
I print on archival fine art paper and a canvas option of the same quality. These materials reproduce the finest details perfectly and with good care they will last over a century. The only real difference between them is that the canvas can be stretched over a frame. The print in the second and third pictures is the 80 x 34 art paper print. The print in the fourth picture is a close-up of the 80 x 34 canvas print. This is an open edition print but it will be hand-signed for a personal touch. I can also add a small detail, or change something minor. For example I can add in a particular building. Larger changes will be extra.

Framing
Framing and delivery are available for Taiwan-based customers. I use high-quality custom black wooden frames from a framer I've worked with for over ten years. They have framed almost all of my original pieces and every exhibition I've shown in.
For smaller prints （80 x 34） I use a clean single-frame design. For larger prints (111 x 48 , 140 x 60) I use a wider, deeper frame profile that suits the scale of larger pieces. Example images of both frame styles are included at the end of the listing photos.
Different framing styles and colors can be arranged on request. If you have something specific in mind, message me and I'll get a quote from the framer.
Stretched canvas prints with framing and delivery options will be available soon.
Delivery
Delivery within Taiwan for unframed prints is free! While I usually keep a couple of the smaller prints in stock the larger ones may take a few days to get ready.
Framed prints can be collected directly from the frame shop (located near the northern end of Ningxia Night Market, Taipei) or delivered to your door. North Taiwan delivery is NT$400, covering Taipei, New Taipei, Keelung, Taoyuan, Hsinchu and Yilan. All other Taiwan locations excluding offshore islands are NT$800.
Thank you!
