I'd like to think I could call myself an amateur cartographer, but that would be a stretch at best. Nevertheless, I have some knowledge in geomorphology, a love for fantasy and steampunk, as well as a passion for design. I have a fair bit of skill in Photoshop and am now picking up Illustrator.

I don't know if I'll ever reach the point where I would comfortably refer to myself as a cartographer, but I expect that I will certainly be friendly with those that do. The world in a story or game is only as rich as its creator allows it to be, and like music for a movie, it gets a little strange if a map isn't involved.
