Hand-painted cartography
Every so often, a job comes in that takes us completely away from the computer screen—though we’ll admit we still used Google Earth to make sure everything was accurate.
Setting up the drawing board by the natural light of our double-glass doors is one of those quiet, grounding pleasures. There’s something deeply satisfying about putting pencil to paper, building up the landscape stroke by stroke.
Rather like subconsciously looking for the replay at a live sporting event, I kept catching myself wishing for an ‘undo’ button (Ctrl + Z) every time I made a slip. But that’s the charm of it—embracing the imperfections and letting the process breathe.
These projects slow us down in the best possible way. They reconnect us with the tactile, thoughtful side of our practice—the feel of the pencil, the scratch of ink, the texture of the paper.
