I am a Santa Cruz, based artist who has been illustrating cities and regions for 20 years.  Over the next 3 months, myself and creative partner Greg Paroff will be traveling throughout Northern California to communities promoting these illustrative maps of local cities and towns.

While a bird’s eye view is something today we’re treated to via satellite mapping, the technique of creating map art dates back well into the 1600’s, much earlier than satellites or even photography. Today we realize that this technique is an excellent way to communicate scale, design elements, orientation and navigation in a single, artistic image.

What makes these prints unique is the artistic detail and the one point perspective that illustrates a communities relationship to the world. This process highlights the beauty of each communities urban and natural environments. Each print takes months to complete, but the result is a rich portrait of these unique cities and regions.
