Vlad Gerasimov · 12 July 2007
This planet looks strangely familiar... But something has changed... Hmm :-) As usual, Adobe Photoshop only.
UPDATE: for simplier version of this wallpaper without any text, see next wallpaper!
Radek Matěj · long ago It's very illusive, I can't stop staring at it. Nice work.
fox · long ago wise
Stefko · long ago OMG! Where do you get those ideas? Does it rain ideas in your town?
Anton · long ago superr!!!!
Lilly · long ago Hm...This work is unusual, but looks prettily! Thanks, Vlad
tsirko · long ago wow,wow,wow! this just perfect! it looks so epic! :P imaging the earth like this! love your imagination!
now again wow! wow! wow!
LucasDT · long ago UNO DE LOS MAS CREATIVOS QUE TE VI HACER, EXCELENTE!!!
Peter Kahoun · long ago Oh yes, this is one of the wallpapers, because of them I hide all the icons from desktop!
Ashwin Narasimhan · long ago This looks nice, and probably will be what happens if global warming doesn't stop.
Life Seeker · long ago STUNNING!
darthvinyll · long ago great stuff!
Gaby · long ago Increible, tan bueno como todo lo que normalmente haces, pero definitivamente esta es una idea super diferente y original.
Fantastico.
Priscila · long ago This is awsome! Really creative, as always.
Leslie · long ago Ooh! Love this!!! As a geographer by trade, this rocks my world!!
p0p0p · long ago lol xDDDD
Sebastian · long ago Man! I cant stop staring at it! Awsome dude! Your imagination knows no limits.
JGB · long ago Nice!
Dusan · long ago you're the man! truly amazing
Jean Paul · long ago Excelente! muy ingenioso!!!
Appleboy · long ago A Masterpiece....
Must....have....on....my..desktop!
Clever! · long ago It took me a minute to figure it out. DUH! But I love it. Neat idea, as usual. :)
judith · long ago your productionrate is amazing! This is yet another stunning one. thanks again for the continuing surprises in my mailbox!
Emily · long ago Looooooooove it!
lisa · long ago so intriguing
bridget · long ago LOVE this wallpaper -i'm using it right now ;) i think it'd be SO awesome if it was colorful - greens and browns etc. on the "land" and blues for the oceans and seas ;)
always love your stuff - keep it coming!!!
xo bridget
dhamar · long ago where's Indonesia my big beloved country? i can't find it!!!!!
Ncoats · long ago Very impressive, as usual.
SacrificialS · long ago Awesome!
doli · long ago excellent~ I love it
feng shaun · long ago simply amazing. So much details which is good.
gareth · long ago i am not at all pleased with this image you have completely left off new zealand which is next to australia you if you are going to do an image like this you should at least put all the countries on it!
divya · long ago View of earth from Vlad eyes.what can be better than this.
Amazing Job.Simply loved it.thanks
Phlebas · long ago Great skewed view of the world. Love it....and remember it's art not an atlas!
derya · long ago i envy your imagination
jimmy · long ago you forgot to put new zealand on the map what a insult!
Vlad Gerasimov · long ago Gareth, Jimmy - I guess you talk about standard sizes of wallpaper, 800x600 - 1600x1200, in fact, New Zealand is there but only in widescreen versions! I did not notice it was cropped. I will try to fix it soon.
Cynthia · long ago Awesome! Stunning!
kacenka · long ago awesome!!!!
ribbot · long ago i am kinda confused
Paul · long ago What a great and unique way to look at our tiny planet! Thanks!
Sergio Alejandro Sotomayor Esqui · long ago MAGNIFICO!!!! AWESOME!!! TR?S BIEN!!! :D
Vlad Gheorghiu · long ago Very interesting idea. I don't see something like this often.
Christopher Barr · long ago People… take it easy. It is the initial impression [first second or two] that separates great art from the not so great art. Anything [art, music, sculptures et cetera] can be trashed by insecure egos. Did you like this piece the instant you saw it? If so, then it is great art. Allow the cartographers include New Zealand. Incidenatally, I'm a sailor. I love New Zealand.

Christopher Barr · long ago New Zealanders- You should first be upset at all of the traitors that kept the America's Cup in land locked Switzerland. After you win back the cup, you can complain about Vlad's exclusion of you on his map!!
blah blah blah · long ago you forgot Okeechobee island in the floridian section of the united ocean.
Justin · long ago I think that is an amazing concept.
Krysthian · long ago La verdad que me encantó!!!
A mi me parece que sí, le llueven ideas!!! XD!!!
Excelente!!!
Dima · long ago nice
Dr. Andrew Mossberg · long ago Creative and well-done! Well executed too!
Balin leSavage · long ago Excellent. I really like this one. Your site redesign is beautiful too.
Luke · long ago What the heck is an 'United Ocean'. Surely you mean the Americas Ocean?
Alaalas · long ago Would that be the Hawaiian Pits? Contrary is okay, but should be a bit more sardonic, no? We do cook pigs in pits, but the whole thing just isn't sarcastic enough.
Deufon · long ago and chilean Sea ??
Mike · long ago You're missing the iPhone Screen Size for the mobile!
Spell Checker · long ago South Pacific Kindgom?
Oakman · long ago where is the rest of the world? You aint showing it all.
th_k · long ago Excellent concept, and while I get the "inverted world" thing, I don't get why the cardinal directions are also inverted. This doesn't keep me from liking it tons.
Benson · long ago Good picture~
But, where those river & mountain inversed from?
I think after inverted, the highest mountain is in Philippine kingdom.
trinest · long ago wheres atlantus
Matt · long ago Where's New Zealand??
Vlad Gerasimov · long ago Hi all! Answering popular question about New Zealand :-) I initially designed this wallpaper in wide-screen size (16:9), and when I saved standard sizes (4:3) New Zealand has been cropped, so it is now avialable for registered users only :-) I am playing with my Photoshop file now to make resize things and make New Zealand fit into 4:3 screens, but I dont like results so far. Thanks again!
Maldivian · long ago lol at least my home maldives is seen
i am no bizarro · long ago this is just like the exact idea for the bizarro world for the all star superman issue in which that cubed.world appeared in it on the background, i think it's number seven.
i am no telling lies.
fooman · long ago haha, very creative. although, mediterranean is a funny name for a piece of land between two bodies of water :)
nidnarg · long ago This is brilliant!
jeromeee · long ago the world looks so much better like this.. in my opinion..
European · long ago Where did europe go!?
Jeff · long ago If you have your compass in the lower right hand corner reversed, then why is the "North Atlantic Kingdom" now located south of the "South Atlantic Kingdom"??
Arun Sivanandan · long ago Cool, great idea ...
If the world was like this, shipping would not have been a big industry :)
Typos · long ago yeah even i like the fact that Maldives is there on the map...really nice...apparently he has a DUAL monitor version of this...maybe he's got the missing things on that one...cheers all !!
N S Sharada Prasad · long ago Topsy turvy world
Luke B · long ago Why is New Zealand never on the map?
howdy · long ago no european ocean? ..you missed the center of the world dude! other than that - nice work!
inDIGGnation · long ago yawn.
grrlwonder · long ago that's awesome. great work!
Pablo · long ago This is an insult for the Latin American people. Besides Brazil, there are many more countries in South America (Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay just to name a few.)
Why do all the "oceans" are called like former continents and "South America Ocean" is called like a country?.
This is just an insult.
kidooo · long ago i like 'mexico land'.
very accurate and informative.
Hanna · long ago Poor work.
Vlad Olteanu · long ago This is genius! Truly, one of your best ideas yet... I've been a fan of your work for two years now, but this is truly amazing :)
CONGRATS! May that you always remain this wise and skilled!
Pace · long ago Geologically impossible, tut.
AD69 · long ago Fake
geo · long ago Where are the Hawaiian Great Lakes?
Josue · long ago awesome. my eyes are having a hard time inverting reality to surrealism imagination. when i focus on the creative image my eyes twitch and irritate only to return to a normal state.
someone help me... ARRGHH !
great design =)
huahua · long ago Jeff:
If you have your compass in the lower right hand corner reversed, then why is the "North Atlantic Kingdom" now located south of the "South Atlantic Kingdom"??
==============================
right, the "north arrow" points downward, so the south atlantic kindom should be in the upper side of the north A....K.....
Irvan · long ago salute. btw, where is Indonesia ? so small.
paru · long ago vald's work, to me, is always sowething different to me; everytime with a different taste of fascination
Robert Carlier · long ago Fantastic! I don't know why but this reminds me of 'The Island Crimea'
Vasilii Pavlovich Aksenov's book.
All the best,
Robert
Toph · long ago Bad.
Ass.
Period.
woonie · long ago I tried visualizing a world where people live in the sea, while travelling on land was not possible until some sort of technological advancement came about.
Bingo · long ago Cool wallpaper, but there's a typo in "South Pacific Kingdom". The "g" and "d" of kingdom are inverted!
javier · long ago Magestuosamente espectacular,felicitaciones
Beth · long ago This is really cool. Reminds me of Middle Earth. One thing, though. English Lake is actually written next to Scotland and Ireland. England can't be used interchangeably for any part of the British mainland. Sorry, but I'm Scottish and it gets to us. >.
Maria · long ago that is wild. . . . . . . but that just looks weird. . . .no big oceans. . . . hmm. . . .
good thing i can swim!!!! XD
David · long ago Great! But...WHERE'S AUSTRALIA?????? :(
David · long ago Nevermind, found it...me so stupid :).
Jamin · long ago This is, by far, the most amazing wallpaper you've created... I've had more impressed comments in the last few days about my desktop than in my whole life of using a computer... You Rock!
dhamar · long ago hey vlad, a very controversial wallpaper,huh?!!
you've replied some question about New Zealand. why are you ignoring about mine? where's Indonesia? i can see that you've drawn Indonesia, but you didn't write it. in fact, you write down phillipine kingdom and taiwan Lake which are much smaLLer than Indonesia.
need your explanation.
Mike Ley · long ago I love this wallpaper, but is there any way you could make it exactly the same, just not inverted? (essentially a normal earth that looks as sleek)
zha chuanxin · long ago Cool! good job
Chiemisa · long ago I think this is a very interesting concept! I really like it, despite what some others seem to think.
daviddddd · long ago That looks awesome..haha
Ribbot · long ago Oh! its opposites,K!
Ludmila · long ago Is this antypodes?
ilgattopunx · long ago i guess, as an argie, i can complain too for calling the whole south cone "brazilian"...
imho, you should've used made up names, it's awkward to see just some of the "real" names.
specially having in mind that brazil beat us in the last america cup :(
kudos to your imagination, nevertheless ;)
Leonardo · long ago Muito bom.... é o que o aquecimento global vai causar! estarei em breve nadando no oceano brasileiro ;)
Parabéns pelo trabalho!
Bora P · long ago Cool Work. :)
ACE · long ago haha! I like it!!!

ANGIE · long ago YO SOY MUY INTELIGENTE
MICO · long ago HoOooO.........if it is being
Where is my country
Very creative idea... but... A p · long ago Very nice work.. But I came here to comment about the South/North Kingdoms and Oceans... :) :D
Maybe they need to release a 1.1 version of the Map.. :D
P.S.: Excellent idea this 'Inverted Planet'

tripleX · 11 February 2008 For my country: The Netherlands there will be not much difference. At the moment we live about 7 meters under sealevel, so on your map we should live on land also! In The Upperlands.
Jennifer Starr · 12 February 2008 I love this wallpaper, but the dual screen version for my resolution cuts off Arcticland and the Antartic Ocean. Boo!!

Chris · 6 March 2008 Nice work! I made sketched of this sort of idea too, and now matter how you look at it or color it, it messes with your head because it's hard to forget the shapes as being the real world map.
The world as 71% land... imagine the salinity of the water.

Dianne Mae · 14 June 2018 This is the first image I have discovered from you almost 10 years ago - it made me look for more and I was not disappointed! I'm now browsing the entire gallery and for some I am also reading various comments... which shows that as life is in general, you cannot please everyone. But you are an amazing artist, no question about it! Thank you so much for sharing your gorgeous work!
luojianhui · 22 November 2018 一看到就喜欢上了，这个壁纸；。

Vlad Gerasimov · long ago
Gareth, Jimmy - I guess you talk about standard sizes of wallpaper, 800x600 - 1600x1200, in fact, New Zealand is there but only in widescreen versions! I did not notice it was cropped. I will try to fix it soon.

People… take it easy. It is the initial impression [first second or two] that separates great art from the not so great art. Anything [art, music, sculptures et cetera] can be trashed by insecure egos. Did you like this piece the instant you saw it? If so, then it is great art. Allow the cartographers include New Zealand. Incidenatally, I'm a sailor. I love New Zealand.

New Zealanders- You should first be upset at all of the traitors that kept the America's Cup in land locked Switzerland. After you win back the cup, you can complain about Vlad's exclusion of you on his map!!

Vlad Gerasimov · long ago
Hi all! Answering popular question about New Zealand :-) I initially designed this wallpaper in wide-screen size (16:9), and when I saved standard sizes (4:3) New Zealand has been cropped, so it is now avialable for registered users only :-) I am playing with my Photoshop file now to make resize things and make New Zealand fit into 4:3 screens, but I dont like results so far. Thanks again!

This is an insult for the Latin American people. Besides Brazil, there are many more countries in South America (Argentina, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Paraguay, Uruguay just to name a few.) Why do all the "oceans" are called like former continents and "South America Ocean" is called like a country?. This is just an insult.

Jeff: If you have your compass in the lower right hand corner reversed, then why is the "North Atlantic Kingdom" now located south of the "South Atlantic Kingdom"?? ============================== right, the "north arrow" points downward, so the south atlantic kindom should be in the upper side of the north A....K.....

This is really cool. Reminds me of Middle Earth. One thing, though. English Lake is actually written next to Scotland and Ireland. England can't be used interchangeably for any part of the British mainland. Sorry, but I'm Scottish and it gets to us. >.

hey vlad, a very controversial wallpaper,huh?!! you've replied some question about New Zealand. why are you ignoring about mine? where's Indonesia? i can see that you've drawn Indonesia, but you didn't write it. in fact, you write down phillipine kingdom and taiwan Lake which are much smaLLer than Indonesia. need your explanation.

I love this wallpaper, but is there any way you could make it exactly the same, just not inverted? (essentially a normal earth that looks as sleek)
