Great images can really put a pleasant pause on the day. It happened for me recently while Google Image searching “evolution of a rocket”.
This clever, funky map helped me clear my head and daydream about upcoming travel plans. But it also got me thinking…who is the illustrator and where can I get a vector source file or print of it? And thus, the side track begins.
Step 1:
Try a ton of descriptive images searches. No dice.
Step 2:
Google “Where did this image come from?”
Result: Tin Eye (imagine wide eyes and elation knowing this tool exists)
Step 3:
Test it out – pasted in my link to the graphic. Voilà- it actually worked! In minutes I found the illustrator and his gallery contact.

Conclusion:
It’s 2011 and I don’t have a real robot or flying car nor have I been to outer space, but it’s still the little things that technology does to simplify random processes that wows me.
