I got my cards out on time this year, but have neglected posting this to the blog. As my long-term readers (both of you) will remember, a few years ago I posted a subway-inspired graphic I used for my annual New Years cards. Well, this year I decided to revisit this idea with a) more homage to Harry Beck’s original Tube Map, and b) more meaningful cartography (tempography?). This is what I came up with:

I may revisit this idea every few years. Perhaps I’ll take on New York or Moscow as a model next. (Montreal would be good too, but I’d hate to go through all that black ink.)
