Hi there!

My name's Ian. Growing up I always enjoyed drawing maps of imaginary lands and cities (and the North Pole for some reason). As I grew older I became busy with school and then college and did very little cartography, but I've finally graduated and can really get back into the hobby I love. Currently I'm an English teacher in South Korea, so it's not like I have all the time in the world to dedicate to maps, but I've been able to set aside time for it.

I've been slowly teaching myself GIMP and am really excited to start making some more high quality maps. Everyone here has produced fantastic material and the tutorials and threads here are incredibly helpful. I look forward to being part of the community!
