Welcome!
The Cartographers’ Guild is a forum created by and for map makers and aficionados, a place where every aspect of cartography can be admired, examined, learned, and discussed. Our membership consists of professional designers and artists, hobbyists, and amateurs—all are welcome to join and participate in the quest for cartographic skill and knowledge.
Although we specialize in maps of fictional realms, as commonly used in both novels and games (both tabletop and role-playing), many Guild members are also proficient in historical and contemporary maps. Likewise, we specialize in computer-assisted cartography (such as with GIMP, Adobe apps, Campaign Cartographer, Dundjinni, etc.), although many members here also have interest in maps drafted by hand.

Hey Mike, Are you still around? I had a couple questions for you if don't mind elaborating on some of the techniques you use. I don't know if you remember, but you helped me out with tips for the Wolfdell village map. Anyways, I was just wondering if you were still on the boards at all. Del (aka Chris)
Thanks for the rep on Val Nevan
Your work is the standard I use to judge fantasy town maps. I have spent many hours trying to imitate your building look. It is good to have your caliber of artist on this site. Thanks for the inspiration! -RPGMM
A recent discussion lead me to realize you were a member of this site. I wanted to take the opportunity to say that every instance where I've seen your artwork I immediately know who the artist was and that you do an absolutely wonderful job. Keep up the great work.
So nice to be repped by one of the greats. Thanks Mike.
Thanks for the kind words! Sorry it took me a while to get back to you. Hope your campaign is going well. Cheers, Mike
Hi Mike. After a bit of search on the internet I just wanted to say wow on the Cormyr map and I sincerely hope that WotC will consider your work for more FR maps. I'm blown away by your maps. I'm currently planning a D&D campaign centered around Cormyr and your mac is a big big help. One can only dream of more (and bigger) maps from your hand. Yours faithfully Daniel V.
