Latest Additions: 10/20 - The God Kings Also, list is now in reverse chronological order.(Part I (personal projects) may be found here: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist.php3?action=view&listi... ) Here is a look at the real-life, bona fide, actual mapmaking projects I've been able to be involved in so far. A huge thanks goes out to Adam Starkweather, Mark Simonitch, Neil Randall, Richard Berg, Brian Youse, Ken Dingley, Jerry Taylor, and Gene Billingsley for thinking highly enough of my work to offer me the chance to work on these! Been loving it, and can't wait to see what I'll get to make next... Hope you enjoy these as much as I enjoy making them!

A map for Julien Bonnard's new CDG on ancient warfare in the ancient Near East. We put together a nice cuneiform on stone tablet feel here... a little unconventional to use grayscale like that for the undermap, but think it works quite well! |

Finishing up this rather complex map for Spartacus. Tried to keep everything separate through overlaid sheets of paper on the map, think it turned out quite well. |

A vast map for Leonard To's upcoming monster on the Chinese War of Resistance (1937-1945). Thanks to Knut Grünitz for his help creating mountain textures. Really like how this one is shaping up, still has a ways to go in terms of content - a lot of data to convey. But the overall look is set, and I really like some of the functional things here. Expecially that our four primary colors (red, green, blue, rust) lock perfectly into each side - in other words each of these colors always stand for one of the four player sides, everywhere.

I've got the opportunity to visit Japan once again, this time for GMT's upcoming P500 block game on the battle Sekigahara and the unification of Japan under Tokugawa. This is a look at the undermap (no charts or gameplay info yet) which I've antiqued in several new ways, most notably by graphically acknowledging the fold lines that will exist on the printed map. I hope I've turned this to advantage to heighten the period feel of the map while remaining subtle enough to not interfere with play. The twelve point compass is the traditional means of navigation in the Far East. Enjoy!

I'm less enamoured with the font used for the province names. I'd prefer a more classical font like AUGUSTUS as I consider those more legible and more fitting.
My main beef with the map relates to the province borders being drowned out by the squiggly space connection lines. I think the provinces need to stand out more.
Personally I really like how the Hannibal map is done in this regard. Space connections are straight and province borders curved. A good contrast.
Furthermore, the busy nature of the space connections makes it harder to grasp the strategic situation. Straight or very smooth lines are imo the way to go. Same bothers me with the COM map as well, I have to admit.
