Hi everyone, 

Just came across this SVG on Wikimedia, which is based on Caillebotte’s painting Paris Street; Rainy Day. I was wondering how it was made. I really like this kind of watercolour effect, I must say.

Do you think it was drawn by hand, or is there a way to automate the process? I'd be very much interested to apply the same to other paintings.

Hi everyone,

I recently came across Daniel Huffman's work at Project Linework and I’m wondering if there are similar projects offering ready-to-download, pre-styled base maps in georeferenced formats (.shp, .gpkg, or GeoJSON). I really like many of his designs, but unfortunately they do not always cover every part of the world.

I also found this French website that offers a variety of base maps with different levels of simplification and map projections. The catch is that they're only available as SVG files, so you have to georeference them yourself.

Do you know other open-licensed base maps? Any hidden gems or projects you'd recommend?

Thanks in advance for sharing.
