D-Magazine Dallas Again

Another illustrated map for D-Magazine in Dallas.

walking maps, more walking maps and trekking map

Is it just me or is everyone walking this summer? I started the year with a series of walking routes to school maps for national walk to school week ( which Maddie Bee got a certificate for walking the 2nd most miles to her school-luckily you could include the train journey as walking), last week i completed a series of British walking route maps for the fine purveyors of women's fitness - ZEST magazine and this week I have been asked to work on a fab book of London walks which I am very excited about. While taking things to another level i am also do a Trekking map of a region in Northern India for The Wall Street Journal. Well I am off to get my boots now and do ten laps of my studio.

George W Bush's Map of Dallas

So a few weeks ago we produced this map for D magazine in Dallas of George Bush's new neighbourhood in North Dallas and noted a few of his not so famous ( as W ) neighbours.

I think the maps went down well and hopefully it gets a good response in Dallas Texas for the work of Mapsillustrated.com

Safe Walking Route to school maps

I have recently been commissioned to produce a set of maps to show safe walking routes to a school in Aldgate, London. This should turn out to be a lovely project for me and an interesting piece of information for the pupils. Not only has it allowed me to revisit a part of London I have not seen for a while it also gave me chance to look at the Gerkin Building at close range and see some of the new development sites around the Aldgate Union.
The visuals/rough sketches that I produced on the walk I am submitting to the handmap.org. For publication in a new book of maps to be published by the Princeton Press
