Examples of my work
Here is a quick look at some of my maps - counties, national parks, AONB's and London Boroughs. To see the complete portfolio hover over the 'maps' tab above and select from the drop down menu....
counties, national parks & landscapes
i launched this website with a map of the Cotswolds along with county maps of Gloucestershire & Oxfordshire in November 2019.
since then I have been steadily increasing the number of county and national park maps, from Cornwall to Kent and further north including Worcestershire, Warwickshire, Surrey and Somerset
I have also completed maps of Derbyshire, the Peak District, North and West Yorkshire and the North York Moors
there are also a series of smaller district maps available from different counties
these vintage style maps are digitally rendered designs, inspired by historical & antique map prints from the 19th and early 20th centuries
my maps are designed as wall art, decorative maps to inform and inspire, aimed at bringing cartography and art together
most maps come with a researched "sites of significant historical & cultural interest" plotted on the map with corresponding reference section (sites researched and sourced from The National Trust, Historic England, English Heritage and Britain Express)
map sizes
most county maps are available in two sizes
B1 - 70cm x 100cm (original design size).
A1 - 59.4cm x 84.1cm
B2 - 50cm x 70cm
LIMITED BUT GROWING NUMBER AVAILABLE IN B2
as size reduced the content becomes slightly more congested, in particular text labels, which have a minimum size. everything has been readjusted and the occasional text removed
some maps are 90 x 90cm and 80 x 80cm due to their shape and size such as Cornwall and Devon
district maps are typically A2 in size (42cm x 59.4cm)

the london series
i have developed a different style of map focusing on the boroughs of london. to launch the london series the boroughs of hammersmith & fulham, wandsworth and the city of westminster are available. Recently added are southwark, lambeth, greenwich and lewisham. kensington & chelsea, camden, islington and hackney are almost complete
the aim is to complete all 32 london boroughs and develop a large scale map of greater london. please stay in contact if you want to know more about this
the distinct design of the london series does share some common ideas from the county series but has evolved to suit the size of the area in question and the density of detail associated with an urban area
print only or framed print
where possible the maps are designed to fit standard sizes B1 and A1 for example. There will be off-the- shelf frames available online.
i offer 4 frame varieties here. Each is made to order. The print is dry mounted to ensure everything is perfect and your map will arrive ready to hang. As many of the maps are large, our frames have depth as well as width, giving them great integrity and strength. I have purchased so may frames from various suppliers in recent years and 'flimsy' is a word far to often used to describe what is produced.
for framed map orders there is also a choice between printing on paper or canvas. The main difference comes down to canvas products not having glazing in front of the artwork. No glare. You can see the artwork clearly from every angle around the room.
