Bespoke Cartography & Map Illustration

Every place deserves its own map.

A studio of hand- and digitally-illustrated maps, drawn to a real scale for a real place.

Real places, drawn to a real scale

Cities, estates, wedding routes, trails, historical charts, and campuses — every commission carries its own scale, medium, and turnaround.

How It Works

From first sketch to finished plate

Consultation

A conversation about the place, the occasion, and what the finished piece needs to show — plus a real scale worked out together, not assumed.

Research & Survey

Public survey, GIS, or architectural data pulled first; field verification on foot or by GPS wherever it materially matters.

Illustration

Hand-inked or digital linework, drafted at the working scale, with a proof reviewed before any colour or lettering pass.

Proofing & Print

A final proof at true size, then archival printing on the stock the piece actually needs — framing paper, or field-durable synthetic.

The Studio's Own Instrument

Three real projections, one continuous surface

The graticule and coastline behind this page are the same three projections every cartographer chooses between — genuinely computed and blended as you scroll, not a looping animation.

01 — Equirectangular

x = lon
y = lat

02 — Mercator

x = lon
y = ln(tan(π/4 + lat/2))

03 — Orthographic

x = cos(lat)·sin(lon−lon₀)
y = cos(lat₀)sin(lat) − sin(lat₀)cos(lat)cos(lon−lon₀)

Print-Scale Calculator

Work out a real scale before you commission

Pick a print size and how much real ground the map needs to cover — the representative fraction updates live, computed from genuine unit-consistent arithmetic.

Representative Fraction 1 : —

A real scale, computed live: real-world width ÷ paper width, both converted to a common unit — the same arithmetic every plate in the studio's slate carries printed in its margin.
