A series of hand drawn maps begun in 2020. Initially, these started out as non-representational works, taking cues from the iconography I was using in commercial animation. As the Covid lockdown continued, I began virtually exploring places I felt disconnected from in New York and beyond. I used Google maps to identify neighborhoods, compressing and altering the shapes slightly to establish a birds-eye-view template. Street View then allowed me to comb the streets to recreate buildings, parks, vacant lots etc. and render them as flat icons.
All works are in pen, Prisma color marker on Bristol Board and range in size from 11 by 14 inches to 28 by 20 inches. A series of these featured in Art on Paper 2022. Commissions of Fort Greene, Brooklyn and Mid-City Los Angeles held in private collections.
