  • [WIP] - An audience with the King

    The whole point of the menu buttons is for convenience, otherwise we would always be navigating to the files manually. SO there is a bit of 'Grrrr' reaction about this lack of a feature for the newer monthlies.

  • WIP: ESTONISCH CONTINENT BIRDSEYE

    Only one criticism - I think the red of the cities is a bit too vibrant - I wonder if a darker red would suit better. But I am in awe of what you and Sue's style have achieved together.

  • Map under an hour challenge

    I like this challenge. Of course, Ralf does it every time he does a Live Mapping session. Anyway, I will give it a go tomorrow.

  • What got you into cartography?

    When I was 12, I was obsessed with Lord of the Rings, and wanted to create my own world. Then I went on a school expedition to Norfolk Island, and 'fell in love' with the map of Phillip Island, 5 km south of Norfolk island, and denuded of all vegetation by rabbits imported there by the prison officers for their 'hunting entertainment'. They have actually got rid of the rabbits and the island is being revegetated, but when I visited it in 1964, it was like a moonscape!

    Anyway, this is the Google map of Phillip Island, and the first map I ever did (by hand) of the fantasy land of Al'Ayn - again for a book I will never write. And also, the third map is the newer version made when I got CC2, then the fourth when I got CC3+.
