Hi everyone,

I'm so glad to have found this forum!

I've always loved creating maps but never pushed myself to really hone the craft. I have a GIS degree but unfortunately my professional life hasn't been able to itch that map-making scratch.

I recently discovered this site thanks to an old podcast that I listened to that made mention of the Saderan Atlas style tutorial (so shoutout to Tear). I've just completed my first take on a world atlas using the style and am excited to flesh it out further.

When I discovered the monthly challenges, I knew I had to register as they look like a lot of fun.

All in all this looks like a terrific community and I look forward to learning more and enjoying everyone's creations!
