A fascinating new colour map of the world's river systems has revealed the flowing arteries of the planet as never seen before.
The guide, created by analyst Robert Szucs, shows every river basin on the globe with a different colour and width depending on water depth
The design has been several months in the making, with the 31-year-old saying he was desperate 'to do justice' to a subject he loves.
Mr Szucs has produced several national maps but has now completed his first world design (pictured). Every river basin is represented by a different colour, which is contrasted with a dark, black background
This map shows the United States of America and reveals the flow of rivers across the country. Mr Szucs collects his data with painstaking patience, assembling information from a variety of government and non-government agencies. He has created a system whereby the thicker lines represent higher stream orders, meaning the tributaries will be much smaller than the main river itself
The Hungarian native has no previous artistic background but says he was inspired by the 'boring nature' of textbooks. The images (pictured left is the United Kingdom and right Africa) have proved so successful that Robert is earning a steady income from them, although he still finds it odd when people refer to him as 'an artist'
In each map every river basin is given a different colour and width depending on water depth. And then thicker lines represent higher stream orders - such as in this image of the United Kingdom. It's a long process but Mr Szucs is adamant it's worth it
Mr Szucs, a geographic information system (GIS) analyst by trade, has spent most of his working life studying the geography of different countries.
In recent years however he has experimented at turning geographical maps into beautiful pieces of art.
He has produced several national maps but has now completed his first world design.
The result is a striking image which shows the veins of the world in stunning and eye-catching detail.

Mr Szucs, who lives in Birmingham, said: 'I am inspired by a determination to do justice to the beauty of rivers.
'Most river maps you see, especially in textbooks, are rather dull, so if there are any textbook publishers out there they can feel free to reach out.
'Assembling the data is a slow and painful process and as a perfectionist, I'm never 100 per cent happy. However, I am really pleased with this one.'
Rivers in Europe are shown in this remarkable map including the Ebro in Spain (bottom left in dark blue) and the Seine in France (in light blue). Mr Szucs has made a number of specific maps to areas of the world
Mr Szucs comes from a science background, having completed an MSc in Geography, and now finds it strange to hear people refer to him as an artist. His work (including this map of Europe) can be bought online and printed on to a number of surfaces including canvas, paper, metal, wood and glass
The world map can be bought online with prices starting at just £7.90 for a downloadable HD image.
The picture can then be printed on to a number of surfaces including canvas, paper, metal, wood and glass.
Buyers receive a digital, ultra-high resolution image and are then free to do as they wish with it.
The images have proved so successful that Robert is earning a steady income from them, although he still finds it odd when people refer to him as 'an artist'.
Mr Szucs said: 'The response has been completely positive and unexpectedly huge. It's rare that a hobby project does so well but I'm now trying to make a living out of this, so I'm more than thankful.
'I came from a scientific background, having an MSc in Geography so people calling me an artist now is still quite strange even now.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
