Hello everyone!

I've been hiding under a rock for the last year or so and haven't been around here much. I crawled out a couple of months back and started mapping again. I've made a couple of maps over the last few weeks but thought I'd drop by to post my latest effort and see how everyone's doing?

I made this map, well, basically because I liked the font. I came across it on DaFont (it's called Mousemoon) and, although it's probably not a typical labelling font, it just appealed to me and I thought I could use it. I decided to go with ridiculously huge labels. I mean, if you're going to make a map inspired by a font, you've really got to go all in, right? I think (hope!) it works well with this style of map. I've completely given up on hand-drawing maps. It just leads to frustration. So this was made in Inkscape with a grungy layer added in Gimp at the very end just to add a teeny bit of texture. I like Inkscape for mapping because it has clones and I am lazy.

Hoping to be around a bit more in future!
