After months of work, I've created a new series of posters in a hachure style reminiscent of centuries past. Have a look: terrainlines.etsy.com If these aren't for you, but you still want to support my work, share them around! A bit more on my blog: somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2024/10/29/a-n…

With these final two, I'll stop spamming your timeline. Remember, if you want to see the whole set, I've put together a free little ebook: somethingaboutmaps.wordpress.com/2024/10/31/a-f…

In my day job at Toitū Te Whenua, we've published our annual report, and I'm honoured to have designed the front cover. It shows the nautical chart of Napier Harbour, with the LiDAR point cloud tumbling in to form the terrain. Created in Blender #b3d linz.govt.nz/news/2024-10/t…

I’ve just posted for the first time over on the blue butterfly site. It seems like a nice friendly bunch of people so I might post some more. I can be found at southarrowmaps.bsky.social. It’d be great to see you there! 🦋

TIL that scale bars in ArcGIS Pro layouts are a lie, and vary depending on the rotation of the #map. This map is at a constant 1:50k scale, and is a constant size. The scale bar computes at centre. Each frame rotates the map by 1°, and well, look at how the scale bar reacts...
