Cartography Coolness - Watercolor Maps

From the genii at Stamen Design, we have these embeddable / usable watercolor maps
As they put it

“Reminiscent of hand drawn maps, Stamen’s new watercolor tiles apply area washes and organic edges over a paper texture to add warm pop to any map. We’ve added more Photoshop-style raster effects to TileStache to render OSM tiles like you’ve never seen them before.”

There is a post on their blog here describing how these maps are generated - check it out...
