Cheers everyone! ☕

Greetings, I'm Michael, the amateur artist behind Coffee Cartography Co. I'm not actually a legit full-fledged business, but it'd be a dream-come-true to achieve that one day. I aim to create epic fantasy worlds and encourage others to pursue their creative passions as well.

I struggle with procrastination, perfectionism, and low self-confidence. My intention is to combat against these internal struggles by speaking openly about them and learning a new craft with an open mind and an internet community. I did not grow up drawing, but I did grow up loving maps and in February 2019 I discovered the amazing work of Josh Stolarz (go follow him on Instagram @joshstolarz) and immediately knew I wanted to learn fantasy cartography.

I've been practicing with pencil & pen this year but can't wait to also begin making digital works as well. Adobe Photoshop is my second language

Shout out to Domino44 for bringing me to this wonderful community. I'm looking forward to poking around and seeing what all is here.

Cheers! ☕
