Hand-drawn, hand-lettered, original illustrated maps and guides to cities and their neighborhoods – from New Orleans to Boston, Atlanta to Chicago, and Minneapolis to New York City.

Over the years, I've researched and developed a series of city maps with historical and cultural guides to communities across the nation. This has been a fascinating project to work on: seeing a city not through the lens of a traditional wayfinding – or even necessarily geographically helpful – system but one that maps the community based on the people and places that make it distinct and memorable.

Each map features rough, pen-and-ink line work with a single pop of one spot color. While each functions as a distinct unit (please click to view the full project!), I am proud of how they also operate as a full set: an expanding, artful atlas that I'm continuing to build.
