Hi Everyone

I've just joined the cartographers guild. I started out in cartography for mapping my DnD campaign which I ran a few years ago and I enjoyed it enough that I now do map drawing as a hobby for it's own sake. I'm also considering getting into commission work. I've recently left my last job as a software engineer to be a stay at home Dad for a while and I'm keen to try some mapping work on the side.

I do all my mapping with physical materials; paper, markers, and colouring pencils mostly. I'm keen to have a go at working with fountain pens at some point although this is currently a bit cost prohibitive for me. I've also been getting interested in calligraphy as I think my lettering is probably the weakest aspect of my maps at the moment. I've done a collection of both city and larger regional maps to date.

Look out for some of my work on the forums over the next few days and weeks. I'm looking forward to getting to know the community a bit better as it seems very friendly and supportive.
