This Friday’s featured artist is Michael Mullan and his amazing hand-lettered maps!
He writes:
"The key in making a well-designed illustrated map is to create a visual balance & maintain readability.
To begin, I do a lot of research. I find all of the travel hot spots, landmarks, and words associated with the area. Next, I find a current map of the area and use that as a guideline when laying out my words & elements."

"Once the sketch is set, I pick my palette and begin the finished illustration."
I love seeing his creative process!
