I’d love to see this done with some other projections, and with lighter “lat/long” lines.
It’s fun for me, a cartophile
To see these heads that maps defile
But spare a thought for Christian Slater
His bonce was drawn by G Mercator.

I think they are starting with a 2D picture, using one projection to map it onto a sphere, and then using a different projection to map it to a 2D picture again. So it exaggerates the distortion.
The Tissot Indicatrix does a much better job at showing the distortion.
Brilliant.
Why is it impossible to buy an interrupted homolosine wall map, anyway? Is a goode map too much to ask for?
