Cartography

When I was five years old, I created fantasy world maps. In retrospect, my immediate family can probably take the credit (or blame). Everyone in my family was born somewhere else in the world, and as a young child, these places were magical with their exotic names conjuring up incredible images in my mind. I would search in vain through our family atlas, trying to locate these places I could barely pronounce, never mind spell. Maps became sources of wonder and enchantment, and my love for them grew. I am extremely fortunate that my work involves my passion. To date, I have created hundreds of maps for many clients. I have created maps for board games, stock market promotion (in print, and on promotional CD/DVDs), historical and fantasy maps in books, magazines, brochures, and a lot more.

Lord of the Rings Map.  Iron Crown Publishing approached me to create their Middle Earth map. This was a folded, insert map for an upcoming Middle Earth book publication. This map was published as an full colour 22x32-Inch map.  I created the base art, while Iron Crown added the text and the colour of the large bodies of water.

Mythic Europe Map.  I was approached by White Wolf Publishing to create an insert map for their Mythic Europe book. They only had a small budget for a 11x17-Inch map so  I suggested that I render the map as a single piece of artwork by hand rendering all of the art including the type. The base map was coloured using watercolours on paper.

Castle Falkenstein Map.  I was approached by R. Talsorian Games who needed an insert map in their upcoming book. This was a commission for an 11x17-Inch map.  I created the base art, including the border art with the four illustrations of various ships of the period including a flying machine, all set to a Steampunk setting of around 1880 AD.

Wild Wild West Map.  The publisher, R. Talsorian Games, needed a insert map in their book and asked me to base it on the Castle Falkenstein map (see above), which I had previously created for them. This was an 11x17-Inch map.  I created the base art and the border art with the four corner illustrations of, all set to a Steampunk setting of around 1880 AD.

Picture
Heroth Castle.  I have created hundreds of full color maps for various publishers over the years.  The Heroth Castle mapping project is one such map.  Having worked in field archaeology/site surveying/, as well as logging, I have a good understanding of how the land influences human habitation, and how humans change their environment.

Talislanta Map. This map was commissioned by Wizards of the Coast. The border art/logo was done in-house at WotC. This map was published as an full colour 22x32-Inch map. ​

Picture
Khe Sanh. The Khe Sanh region, Vietnam, 1968.  Over an eight year period I created many full color maps for Against the Odds Magazine.  In many instances, I was needed to create a series of two or three maps showing troop positions and movements during various battles and campaigns including overall strategy maps.

Map of Ancient Greece.  This is the sort of typical detail that I like to see and create in my mapping work.  This was commissioned and published by Against the Odds Magazine.

Picture
Map of the Siege of Acre, 1291 AD.  This was just one of many small tonal/greyscale historical maps I created for various game and historical book publishers.  This type of project is always fun to create.  I created well over 100 such maps for various publishers over the years. This was commissioned by White Wolf Publishing.
