“If you were born in the last 30 years, there’s a good chance you’ve never actually had to rely on a paper map. You might have seen them at amusement parks or folded up in the glove compartment of your dad’s car. But you probably weren’t using them to navigate from the passenger seat while on a road trip with your best friend.
Despite the fact that the majority of the world now uses apps to provide us with directions, there will always be a place for maps. And if you disagree, I hope that the Amazing Maps Instagram page [link above] will help change your mind. This account has amassed nearly 75K followers for sharing fascinating maps of the world, along with fun facts and interesting statistics…”

From entire continents, to regions, cities and dungeons, all the maps I create go through three stages of development: sketching, inking and colouring with various levels of complexity.

Come for a visit and ask me about a commission!

There’s something undeniably captivating about old #maps. Worn edges, elaborate compass roses, sea monsters adrift in unknown waters. These images don’t just chart the world, they narrate it.

I just approved the final proofs for the next book!!! Wow!

COMPARATIVE MAP HISTORY AND 'THE HISTORY OF CARTOGRAPHY' = 140 pages of sheer scholarly goodness (if you're into such things!)

Brill will release the book at the end of July: https://brill.com/display/title/73079

My thanks to Carla Lois for including this beastie in her series, Brill Research Perspectives in Map History !!

A real cartographer, used to working with real geographic data, decides to try his map making skills on a ‘fantasy’, game-inspired world: specifically Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri. This essay is a deep dive into the technical aspects of what it took for him to make the map, and the difference between making traditional real-world maps and fantasy maps. A small group of you may be interested in his journey, and the story he tells. #Maps #Cartography #MapMaking #AlphaCentauri

Some maps definitely make you think a little harder! This was a fun client project where I drew not only the top down map but also a side view of the same city.

New on the blog: "Planetfall," in which I go into great detail about making a fun #map based upon a 1999 computer game. One of the most technically demanding projects of my career, for a very niche audience.
