Celebrating Skyrim day with food & gaming as is our annual tradition! My original map of Skyrim launched my cartography career in 2011 and is one of my favorite maps I've ever created. In 2021 I created an updated version for the 10th anniversary that hangs over our mantle and in Bethesda's office!

WIP on my Valley of Stars map that I'm working on with a small group of fellow artists to create lore, history, art, and more. I admit, there's something very relaxing about drawing the maps I do. Hours more to go but love it so far.

My next project map is redrawing the Valley of Stars from my Taur'Syldor map. I'm also creating lore, NPCs, towns, etc. for the region and hopefully getting some people to collaborate with me on it.
