oh god. i drew maps and stuff all throughout middle and high school. pic related, something i did when i was a freshman.

drawing a coastline was like porn to me. it was so fucking cool. i always thought about certain places being populated by different cultures and stuff. really fun to do when i'm bored, but now i draw people and other stuff.

Collage as Cartography is some next level shit.

Documents a time an place effectively through the trash of the inhabitants.

Sorry but that's just unappealing and trashy to me. Nothing to do with cartography.

Are you me, lol? I always volunteered to make custom maps whenever we played risk..

I don't have anything from my younger days, but I do have this thing I did in college.

I even had 50,000 years of history mapped out concerning the migrations and genetic traits of different peoples through the land.

Such a waste.
