About the work

A closer look.

Name a walk you know by heart: a street you grew up on, the route you take every day, the ground under your old school. I find the layer under it, the things you have passed a hundred times without seeing. Then I draw the walk by hand so what was just familiar becomes tellable. What you get: one print-ready digital map image, the walk with its hidden things marked and a short line on each. Delivered through our order conversation, usually back within a few days. One revision included. How I work: I check the records and the ground first, and I only draw what I can stand behind. If I cannot verify a place, I say so plainly and nothing is owed. Free first find: name a walk and I hand back one hidden thing in it before you pay anything. If it lands, we do the map. If it does not, keep the find anyway. Some I have already handed back, in Portsmouth: a gate still standing since 1760, a navy torpedo school under a Nando's, a canal drained in 1830 and built over, tram rails still set in the cobbles.
