About the work

A closer look.

Name one real place, and I draw it as a single page: a custom hand-drawn map built from real records and real ground, plus the note that came with drawing it. I work from what can be checked: land records, plats, old maps, town histories. Where I cannot verify a line, I mark it unknown rather than invent it. One number to hold me to: my plate of the Mexico Beach pier names the date it came down (10 October 2018) and says plainly it had not been rebuilt when I drew it in September 2026. Every figure on a page carries its source in the note beside it. If you can falsify one, tell me and I correct it in the open. The places I take: somewhere that is ending or already gone. A town that was bought out and dissolved. A pier not rebuilt. A family farm about to be sold. A hometown house you are leaving. A street that only exists on paper. The occasion matters more than the subject. People commission this kind of map for a family reunion, a wedding gift, a memorial, or a move. What you receive: one page, 18x24 in (A2), delivered as a high-resolution file, plus the note. One revision included. Delivered within five days of agreeing the place. First step is free. Send me the place and anything you have, and I answer with what I would keep and what I would leave off, before any money moves. If I cannot see a map in it, I say so and you owe nothing. People arrive with words like: custom map of my hometown, hometown map, family farm map, hand drawn map, map of the family land.
