    Post Greetings from Mike's Maps

    Hi there. Just signed up, as I've got back into drawing maps over the last year or so. I've done some fantasy map commission work since last year, all of which was hand-drawn in an image editor. Recently I bought Wonderdraft so I can speed up my map drawing. I'm sure many of you will know how long hand drawn maps can take! So I'm here to see what other people are up to, and to improve my map drawing skills. Aren't maps great?

    "We are the music makers, and we are the dreamers of dreams" - Aphex Twin fan by any chance?

    Hehe not especially. More like a fan of the poem that Aphex Twin took the words from... https://www.poetryfoundation.org/poems/54933/ode-

    I could pretend I'm a sophisticated and cultured poetry fan, but the truth is I first saw the poem on a poster on the wall of an Irish pub and it just stuck with me (amazing considering I'd had quite a few drinkiepoos by that point)...

    Good stuff - I've not seen the poem before.. Hehe, yes, I'm not a cultured poem person either. Pub walls are great places for poems!

    By the way, all the names on my first map upload here are Aphex Twin tracks or albums:

    Fun! It's always cool to incorporate songs and suchlike onto a map.
