Description
I'm not around much, so I'm posting older works... This was from my 'map' series: I ripped Japanese paper, soaked it, dyed the edges, used pencils & inks and sprinkled dried-watercolors all over it, then sprayed. (My grandfather would say, "from this I'd get a headache!") Hope you enjoy!!

AWWW! It has all the beautiful colors I love so much...hmm It would really have been gorgeous on that HUGE canvas I am working on these days, instead of what I am doing with it. This is exquisite and I adore it. I am so amazed by these maps you are creating, Mark. FAV !

Mark this is lovely and one I am so thrilled you shared with us. It's so easy to see the time and caring that you put into this to get this kind of detailing. You truly breathed life into a map like few can

What a creative venture into the world of maps. I appreciate your notes concerning the how-you-did-it activities. The major river flowing from top to bottom right through the center of your image brings a unity to the whole project for me. And the ripped edges..., a sense of the texture of old map paper. Water colors...wonderful flow... My map appreciation grows out of a collection of every issue of National Geographic from issue #1, dated October 1888 to present. As you can imagine, that's a lot of maps:)

I'm so excited by your gallery! I love what you did here. The colors and textures are astonishingly beautiful, and the explanation of your method is so intriguing. The mystery of this map compells me to go on an expedition. I look forward to exploring more of your work here next week.
