An Australian cyclist has created a cool and unique tribute to the iconic NIRVANA album, “Nevermind”, by recreating the record’s cover art using only GPS tracking.
Pete Stokes, a national parks project manager, cycled 150km on an 8 hour journey through the city of Adelaide to make the sketch, which turned out to be a lot better than what you would think a piece of art made with gps tracking would look like. Stokes made the “drawing” using the Strava Exercise app.

“Nevermind, released thirty years ago today. Still kicks all kinds of ass,” Stokes added as a caption.
“When this album came out I was in high school – I was about 14, and that’s when you’re forming your love of music,” he later told The Guardian.
It was recently revealed that the album’s cover model, Spencer Eldon, is suing NIRVANA for ‘child pornography’ due to album’s cover. Court documents filed in California find his lawyers claiming that the band “knowingly produced, possessed, and advertised commercial child pornography depicting Spencer, and they knowingly received value in exchange for doing so,” and that “the Defendants failed to take reasonable steps to protect Spencer and prevent his widespread sexual exploitation and image trafficking.”
