An extremely talented illustrator based in London, Jenni Sparks is known for making detailed, hand drawn maps of cities such as Lond, Paris, and New York.  Sparks was commissioned to create a map of Paris illustrating the unique things that make it such an special place.  She spent many months researching, reading, and then visiting the city to spend time looking around and meeting the locals.  Sadly, while she was drawing the map the Charlie Hebdo tragedy took place.
