The Cartographers' Guild and the Soho Gallery for Digital Art have teamed up to present a gallery show of 90 maps from 40 artists around the world. The show includes works from industry pros such as Paizo's own Corey Macourek, as well as Jared Blando, Mike Schley and many others. The maps are shown on digital screens which zoom in and pan across the landscapes showing off all of the detail. I have to say that the Whale from Swallowed Whole looks particularly fine!
If you're in New York then I highly recommend checking it out. It's been a lot of fun putting this together. There's a drinks reception on Wednesday night (21st of July) from 6-9pm.
The show runs until the 29th of July. It's free to enter - and the maps are available as limited edition prints during the run of the show.
Could you give the medium for a few of the maps in the video?
Were these all pure digital creation? Were some handpainted? In Oil? In Watercolor?
All of these were pure photoshop I believe. I know that a number of the maps in the show are initially drawn in pen or graphite and then coloured digitally. But most of the work is purely digital. Cartograpy often needs edits at late stages given that it has to be very accurate. Those edits are (relatively) easy on a computer, but a total nightmare in a traditional medium - so it's not too surprising it's gone mostly digital.
Oh, and there's now a full art listing of the work in the show. All pieces are available as (super) high quality limited edition art prints until the end of the show.
