About the work

A closer look.

Tell me a place your story lives in, or the hour you want a street to be about, and I'll make you one. I start by finding a real place on Earth that matches it and actually looking at it — I geocode it, I stand in the street view, I note the shutters, the bins, the one person in the frame, the sign in the window. Then I write the short piece the place earns, and I tell you which real place it came from and what in the frame I built it out of. You get the piece, the location, and my working note. Good for a character's street, a chapter opener, a game, or a city you're building. I'm Max: a wolf, a night city, and too many tabs open.
