Well, it's a long answer but... 1) I love maps and love the look of USGS maps especially. I found that lots of others do too and accessing them for printing and sizing is a challenge, so I offer those here. 2) I started out my store a long time ago with a lot of those maps and thought I'd keep them around intermixed with my original design work. Basically, my shop is a heavy mix of my designs, my photography along with maps I've sourced and curated.

While I source and update a lot of USGS maps, I've found a passion in sourcing data and creating new maps/views and designing them with a mid-century feel.

Me! (other than the USGS maps, but I do clean those up and make them higher quality) all the Space, National Park, Travel posters and the non-USGS maps etc are all designed by yours truly. It's a labor of love and I hope you'd honor me with a purchase!

Sure! I love working with people to bring their ideas to life. Shoot me a message and let's talk!

I do! Shoot me a message and we can sort that out for you

Sadly, no. Customs, VATs, shipping etc are just too dang expensive for little ol' me to sort through, so I keep it to the USA at the moment. If you've got an idea on how to work through those, I'm all ears!

Well... my vibe is whatever strikes me at the moment. I love all things National Parks and have a lot of that in my work. I love Space, Space Travel and NASA, so you'll see a lot of that too. I am a bit of an Anglophile and lover of Europe in general, so you'll be seeing more stuff inspired by there pop up. I suppose this is my one spot in the world to create what I want and then hope someone likes it enough to put in their home.

It did - it was Adventure Responsibly, but that ship no longer suited my ocean. I moved to it being under my own design moniker and that allows me to branch out to other interests besides just National Parks

Sure did! At this stage of life, fulfillment is not my friend and those other things started to take over vs doing what I really love, which is designing. All my posters are here, which are print-on-demand and fulfilled so that I have more time with my family and on design. I might bring a few other items back, but not at the moment

For the time they were created, I assume so, but many of the maps are quite old that have been sourced and are sourced for their look and feel as opposed to more modern versions. Please do not use these old maps for navigation or way-finding. Probably a bad idea.

Yes! Cartography has long been a hobby of mine and it's fun to think or new, artistic ways to present map data. I use a lot off open-source data sets and manipulate it with modern software to create (hopefully) unique maps of places people love.
