    Default Cartography against depression ;)

    Greetings from Poland!
    I make maps mostly for myself. I draw by hand only, I don't use a computer, tablet or any other device.
    I don't create my own worlds.
    I try to create maps of those already existing, mainly based on literature and sometimes on history.
    Drawing maps allows me to fight depression better.
    That's all
    Yours sincerely

    Miło powitać rodaka!

    Thank you for the warm welcome. You may not even know how much you help me by giving me inspiration and encouragement to draw.
    Thanks!

    Hey there. It's so nice to have another fellow countrymen here. The guild is overrun with our French friends, hehe.

    Sorry to hear about your depression. Whatever it is, it's good to focus on things you like. It's neat that drawing maps helps you. I'm looking forward to seeing your drawings.

    You will find that members of this forum are super helpful and always considerate.

    Sending happy thoughts
    Serdeczne pozdrowienia.

    I thought you may have Polish roots. Your surname Stolarz is absolutely Polish. Means Carpenter
