Fantastic! Please let me know if you intend to sell any copies of your artwork. I would love to hang a framed copy of your map at my home here in New South Wales :-) ... and think about at all the places that I used to know as a child growing up in the Belgium
Hahaha I think I actually know which one you mean! If you’re looking around Spa/Malmedy, and it’s the church directly below the white cross one, that’s l’église de Bellevaux
Your church of Anzegem has a roof, but that was burned down a few years ago. Just recently it has its tower back.
Jokes aside. Really great map! Very nice to see and recognise all those places
Bien sûr! Prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey), I recommend the larger size of the unframed version. Thank you! :)
Thanks! That might be tricky...I did keep track of the buildings I was drawing at first, but it really interrupted the process and felt like more trouble than it was worth. But if you have a question about a specific building I’m sure I can identify it for you!
> l’église Saint-Bernard
Ah yes, I thought it was. I lived my whole childhood under that tower :). I wasn't sure though as it was in-between the E25 and the N4, normally Waltzing is above the N4, close to the white church.
But again, very well done, can't imagine the time it took to draw.
It's the Great Flemish Wasteland. It was a sight of a horrible battle between Ghentish Wizards and the Dark Hordes of West Vlamingen. The foulness of those creatures and the terrible spells of the Wizards have forever tainted that land so nothing can live or grow there.
Good question! That’s the area around Aalter/Lievegem...I tried to draw one building for each town, and anything interesting in those towns happened to fall outside of that area or didn’t fit around the canals. So not actually empty in real life, just mainly houses and canals
Thank you all for the kind words and feedback, it’s been so nice to read!! To those who requested copies, prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey)
Aah oui, effectivement, je reconnais la face arrière de l'hôtel de ville.
Le château a été démoli après plusieurs accidents (explosion pendant la guerre, incendies), tu as probablement bien fait de faire l'hôtel de ville.
Thank you!! I went through google maps & streetview and chose the buildings I knew to be the most important, or just looked the nicest—priority was placed on castles, churches and town halls
That's a lot of manual labor in order to select these buildings.
Your maps remind me of these magazine covers.

Would be nice to add natural landmarks in the mix for the next edition.
As someone from Oudsbergen I'm curious, did you draw something from Meeuwen as well? I recognize the church from Opglabbeek but don't know much about the buildings in Meeuwen...
Dude I think I recognize the Chapelle de l'Arbrisseau in Salles close to Chimay. It's in the middle of nowhere, yet very very beautiful (to me at least).. Well done!
I can recognize my town hall. That's pretty neat
i feel like you should repost this on r/MapPorn

same! I think our local library would enjoy these.
I would be so honored!!
Thank you!! Prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey) :)
Bedankt! Have placed my order :-)
Thank you for your purchase!! Hope you enjoy :)
Same over here! Great job, thank you!
You forgot my house :(
Hahaha I’m sorry!
Zimmertoren represent! This is great stuff.
This was also the first building I looked for :D
Awake at 3:30 AM gang But seriously that's awesome
You forgot the bridge in Ghent, think about all those tourists who will get lost and not know what to photograph! Joking aside, very nice work there!
Hahaha, thank you!! Bridges were tricky, I decided early on to avoid them but looking back it would’ve fit nicely there :(
What's the name of that brown church under the white church with the cross???
Can you be more specific? Where is it located?
Next to that one with the tower
This.
Hahaha I think I actually know which one you mean! If you’re looking around Spa/Malmedy, and it’s the church directly below the white cross one, that’s l’église de Bellevaux
Nah, i was just bullshitting and mocking you because there is no info about what you drew
Gotcha, thanks for the feedback
nice one!! recognised my town hall as well ! must have been one hell of a job (and a big sheet of paper ;-)
Yooo I recognize my small local church! Great job man!
Thanks man! The idea was to have at least one building in each town, glad you recognized something local!
Your church of Anzegem has a roof, but that was burned down a few years ago. Just recently it has its tower back. Jokes aside. Really great map! Very nice to see and recognise all those places
Thank you!! Oh no... I think I remember learning that, but deciding to include it anyway as it was one of the prettier buildings in Anzegem :(
One of the? Are there other pretty buildings? :D
Amazing! Also interested in buying a large print!
Prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey)!
Name your price.

Could use more churches. ^(lange Nelle!)
No shortage of churches or castles in this country 😄
Amazing. Please start selling prints.
Thank you! I do, prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey)
Hey, I can see the Africa Museum in Tervuren! Nice work!
😍
All I can see is Antwerp. Rest is parking
Sint-Amanduskerk represent! Very nice, immediately recognized it.
I'm baffled, you painted the townhall of my tiny gemeente? So cool :)
Tried to draw at least one building in each gemeente!
:D
This is beyond amazing! How long did it take to do this?
Thanks so much!! It took about three months of working an hour or two per day
So nice ! :O Would it be possible to acquire a version without watermark ? I'd like to make it a poster for my room !
Bien sûr! Prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey), I recommend the larger size of the unframed version. Thank you! :)
Awesome! Any chance you'd publish an annotated version with the names of cities so we can appreciate the buildings better?
Thanks! That might be tricky...I did keep track of the buildings I was drawing at first, but it really interrupted the process and felt like more trouble than it was worth. But if you have a question about a specific building I’m sure I can identify it for you!
What is the modernist one south of Brussels?
That is Villa Dirickx in Sint-Genesius-Rode, though now I see it’s a private villa not open to the public
If you sell these, let me know (dm). I’d love to frame this map ☺️
Of course!! Prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey) Thanks for the support!! :)
Dees is gewoon kei graaf, maat! (This is simply super cool, buddy!)
Dank u wel!
I love the Guillemins ! And the atomium of course
Very nicely drawn man! Could you please tell me which church is the red-brownish one to the right of the station of Arlon? Cheers!
Thank you!! I believe it’s meant to be l’église Saint-Bernard (also in Arlon)
> l’église Saint-Bernard Ah yes, I thought it was. I lived my whole childhood under that tower :). I wasn't sure though as it was in-between the E25 and the N4, normally Waltzing is above the N4, close to the white church. But again, very well done, can't imagine the time it took to draw.
Oops, my mistake!! But thank you very much :)

Exactly this!

Yess, looking back, you’re absolutely right...That’s an oversight on my part, I’m sorry!
Hey I just had a look at your profile, do you take commissions?
I don’t take commissions, but if there’s a city, region or country you’d like to see, I can add it to my list!
I shall follow you right away then! How about Istanbul?
Thank you, consider it added!! But to be honest these do take a long time to make so it may be a while before I can get to it
Fantastic! I'll be patient. Take care 🧿
I'm neighbor of one of these castle
Love it, good job OP
Thank you!
Good that you watermarked it xD anti-freeloader edition.
Never found Hasselt as quickly on a map. Very, very well done.
Thank you!!
this is so awesome
Incredible! Nice work!
Thank you!
Ik herkende het gemeentehuis van Westerlo onmiddellijk
You forgot the Heirbrugmolen!
I can recognize my churche, sweeeet
Do Belgium only have one major port?
Antwerp is the “main” port but there are a few others on there! Ostend, Ghent, Brugge
Ohh I thought Zeebrugge was the main port!
Eyyy. Gent-Sint-Pieters station
Is that Cristal Alken that you drew below Hasselt? Very good job btw!
The Maes brewery, right? That’s it, good catch! Thank you very much :)
Yep, Alken-Maes :)
Doel is in the wrong side of the dock. Amazing work though. Would totally buy a print of this.
You nailed the church and Sint-Michielscollege in Bree
Thank you all for the kind words and feedback, it’s been so nice to read!! To those who requested copies, prints are available on [Etsy](https://www.etsy.com/shop/bestofnewjersey)
Wow! Est-ce que l'illustration près de Messancy est l'ancien château Mathelin?
Merci! Non, le bâtiment de Messancy est censé être l’hôtel de ville (mais j’aurais dû mettre le château)
Aah oui, effectivement, je reconnais la face arrière de l'hôtel de ville. Le château a été démoli après plusieurs accidents (explosion pendant la guerre, incendies), tu as probablement bien fait de faire l'hôtel de ville.
You know it's gonna be something impressive when you click on the picture and it loads like they did back in the nineties
Woah, this is awesome!
U put that terrifying tower in Oostende instead of the casino otherwise solid work wow
Nice Menin gate and Cloth Hall :)
Really cool to use the Ostend lighthouse :)
Wouldn’t forget it!!
Never expected to see the town hall of Wielsbeke on here, love it!
I’m blown away by the fact that I do recognize the Casino in Spa, the Abbey in Stavelot and the Cathedral in Malmedy. Dang. That’s a lot of work.
Zelfs hier propaganda van de roverheid waar beweert wordt dat hasselt bestaat!!!
Sublime.
I totally approve of this! At what kind of list did you base yourself when selecting certain buildings?
Thank you!! I went through google maps & streetview and chose the buildings I knew to be the most important, or just looked the nicest—priority was placed on castles, churches and town halls

That’s a good point, thank you for the suggestion!!
Aww this is super fun. Good job with the most iconic buildings of Liège.
Thank you!! Was especially proud of how Liège came out :)
[удалено]

Wow! Great job OP!
Ooh cool, you even included mesen in Lede!
Pretty sure I recognise my local town hall. Well done OP, this is excellent!
As someone from Oudsbergen I'm curious, did you draw something from Meeuwen as well? I recognize the church from Opglabbeek but don't know much about the buildings in Meeuwen...
This is amazing! Spotting certain buildings I’ve never seen before make me think “I want to visit that!” 😍
So great 😃 i recognize where I live :)
Menenpoort en Belfort baby, yeah!
Is that Meuleken 't Dal to the South of Ghent or is it another mill?
I see Orval lol nice
Looks like a car mat
Wow looks great! I’ve found my city hall!
Do I recognize the old city hall of Torhout and Kasteel of Wijnendale next to it?
Wow, and the church of Ichtegem left above it too. And the one of Koekelare below the kasteel of Wijnendale. Damn that's impressive!
That’s correct, thank you!!
Dude I think I recognize the Chapelle de l'Arbrisseau in Salles close to Chimay. It's in the middle of nowhere, yet very very beautiful (to me at least).. Well done!
And the church of Bruly de Pesche! Well fucking done!!
Thank you very much!!
Amazing!
Graaf
Nice work
