Hi. I have been playing with TileMill, TileStream and Development Seed Web Site, and I notice that de front page of the development seed site is a tile set (from http://tiles.mapbox.com/devseed/map/about-devseed). So, my question is, How can I do such a beatifull map and if I can make my own (different of yours of course), put it on my tilestream server and use it in my web site.
Thanks in advance.

    Sure, the illustrations were done in inkscape and imported into TileMill as SVGs. You will be able to host the final map on TileStream.

    Ah! You can't copy the map from our site, but if you want to use the same concept or make a map that is inspired by our map, feel free!

    Yes, thats the idea, use the same concept. I will use some rasters from Natural Earth and some shapes of my own.
    So, thanks a lot.
