UpstateCartography

Welcome to my map store. I primarily create unique, digitally enhanced, watercolor pencil maps suitable for display in a home or office. What is a digitally enhanced map you ask? I start by creating a watercolor pencil painting that highlights the key features of my area of interest and uses natural tones reflective of the landscape. The watercolor pencil also gives the painting some texture that would not be possible in just watercolor alone. The painting is then scanned and enhanced with digital data to create a topographic illustration that highlights the varied landforms of the area in the map. Depending on the map, additional data may be added to further emphasize interesting features. I also create maps completely digitally, but that have a look that is hand drawn and/or painted. Some of my newer maps are printed on heavy stock paper as giclee prints with archival inks. The other maps are printed on professional photo paper with archival inks. My store is focused on the Northeast at the moment, and additional states will be coming in the future. So please stop by from time to time and see what's new. Thanks for visiting!
