Lord of Maps - LOTR-inspired state maps

[jrsheppa]

I love a good aesthetically pleasing map and I am working on collecting different maps to have a "map room."

Just wanted to let everyone on this forum know about this dude's work. Ran across him recently on the interwebz. He draws custom state maps in the style pioneered by JRR and Chris Tolkien. I don't have any connection to him but I recently bought the Texas map in the 20 x 16 inch size. Don't think they are limited editions or anything like that. Packaging was substandard but map arrived in fine shape. Good quality printing, heavy paper. Regardless, I recommend his work. He only has like 5 states as of now but my guess is he will continue building his portfolio.

Clever, clever. I reached out to the artist and encouraged him to add an option for margin sketches/embellishments. Not sure if that's the kind of thing he'd feel comfortable doing, but a custom LOTR sketch here and there could really tie these maps together.
