Venice Map Bags
Description: Venice is a Westside neighborhood founded in 1905 as a seaside resort town. It was later associated with Beatniks, hippies, and other bohemians. Today it's largely associated with tech bros and yuppies in the mainstream although it retains a distinctly eccentric character. I explored in 2011. https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/01/19/1447/
Description: "L'umana guida e basta" (The human just drives) 🐾🚗 Who needs a GPS when you have a cat with a camera collar and a superior sense of direction? Featuring a real-life photo of Gigia Travel Cat, this fun design celebrates the true hierarchy of a road trip. Surrounded by charming vintage illustrations of iconic Italian landmarks like the Rialto Bridge, cameras, and maps, it proudly crowns our favorite tabby as the ultimate Italy Travel Expert (意大利旅行专家). It's a hilarious choice for road trip enthusiasts, cat owners, and anyone who knows that the human is really just the chauffeur.
Description: An ink and correctional fluid map of Los Angeles's Westside region. It's home to enclaves like Little Brazil, Little Britain, Little Odessa, Little Osaka, and Tehrangeles; UCLA; world-famous Venice Beach, and a handful of places with "Beverly" in their name. I wrote a primer about the communities of the Westside for "California Fool's Gold." https://ericbrightwell.com/2011/08/18/california-fools-gold-a-westside-primer/
