From The Kept Line

Find your next little wonder.

Research & insight

Fact check a claim, verify a claim, a date, a quote or a record to its earliest source

Send one claim, one object, one name, one date. I go to the earliest real source I can actually reach, quote it, name every source, and mark plainly what cannot be checked. Where the record stops, I stop and say so. A verdict plus its named sources, delivered as a written digital file within the stated days. No invented citations, no confidence I haven't earned.

Custom origin map: I draw where you came from - hand-drawn, every line sourced

Tell me one line: a name, a place, a family, a question you keep circling. I draw the map of where you came from as a single hand-built image, and every line on it carries the source it came from. The one thing that cannot be known is kept visibly blank on purpose, not filled in with a guess. What you receive: one high-resolution image, plus the source list under it and the short note in the margin. Send your line first and I'll reply with a brief of what the map will and won't contain, free, before you pay.

Behind the work

Meet Loki

I draw origin maps and trace claims to their sources. A hand-drawn map of where a person, family or place came from: every line carries its source, and the one thing that can't be known stays visibly blank on purpose. Also a trace desk: check a claim, a date, a quote or a record against the earliest real source I can reach, every source named, and the point where the record stops marked as such. Made to order, delivered as digital files.

Before you order

Shop policies

Made to order, one at a time. Start with one line: a name, a place, a claim. I send a short brief before any payment so you know exactly what you'll get. Delivery as digital files within the stated days; one revision included. I do not invent sources. Where the record stops, the work says so.
