Personal Cosmographie I

[Brendo]

My favorite map types are personal cosmographies. When I receive this type of order, I ask for a detailed description of the personal references of the person to be mapped. Then I transform this description into geographic information, and I represent it on the map.
In this case, for example, a boy commissioned a map for his best friend's 20th birthday. From the information he gave me, I produced this "personal cosmography." The image has details like favorite bands and artists, memories and experiences, references to family and friends.
I believe that Cartography can also express our inner worlds, as our most beautiful and rich, our identity.
I have already done other personal cartography work that I intend to publish here as well. I hope you like it, I did in the style of a cartographic projection of Mollwide.

First I drew, and then I scanned and colored in photoshop.

The information that was more personal, I deleted the image before publishing.
I Hope you like it!

An amazing work, Brendo ! I love your style, especially for the border : you can just get lost for a while, looking at the details

I love the fusion of cartography and portraiture (or representation of a person). Great idea!

It's really refreshing to see someone taking on such an old style like this, I commend you Brendo, great work! I really love your varied forest styles, it really gives the feel of different climates, and I have to second Misty on that stellar border job, just fantastic!

Awesome! I really like how you came up with different tree symbols and clustering them to make forests. Have some rep!
