For Day 10 of the #30DayMapChallenge's prompt "Air" we're resharing a map we made last year to cope with the anxiety of waiting to hear from family and friends in the transboundary Grenadines following the direct hit by Hurricane Beryl on July 1, 2024.

For the #30DayMapChallenge Day 9's prompt "Analog" we wanted to share some of the map jewelry we've made over the years, particularly our custom, handmade, geospatially accurate—but wonderfully, uniquely imperfect—jewelry. (If you're interested, reach out at [email protected]!)

For the #30DayMapChallenge Day 9's prompt "Analog" I sketched out a quick, small-child-friendly map and let my kiddo color it in 😋

For Day 8 of the #30DayMapChallenge's prompt "Urban", we refreshed a map of Kingstown, the capital of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, visualizing the impact of 2m sea level rise on essential services downtown, that was originally published in Guerrilla Cartography's “Water: An Atlas".

Do I know any Indigenous folks who make maps? Got a request for a paid design/cartography job and it'd be rad if I could connect you with them.

For Day 6 "Dimensions" of #30DayMapChallenge, we are going to brag about the GIS+Blender course we took from Elizabeth Rosenbloom. After only 5hrs of learning the UI and ways to work with geospatial data within the software, we were able to make this sunrise rending of the Galapagos Islands 🌅

For Day 5 "Earth" we refreshed a Pacific bathymetry map we made for our own "Map-A-Day" project (many years before the #30DayMapChallenge existed) to build up our original portfolio!

Another quick map for the #30DayMapChallenge for the prompt "Lines"! We grabbed Magnificent Frigatebird tracking data from Movebank and highlighted one of their tagged birds, "Boyd", who demonstrates the vast distances this species can explore while foraging.

And if you'll be at #NACIS2025 in Louisville, you can see it in person and deface it with dry erase markers.
