North America:

Portrait of a Continent
Picture
Hand-drawn entirely with color pencil and pen,
the map spans from the Arctic ice sheet to the jungles of Central America. Even to the deepest reaches of the ocean, and out to the stars...
Picture
North America: Portrait of a Continent was drawn completely by hand with color pencil and pen. It is a 5 x 4 foot (150 x 120cm) perspective projection of the region, spanning all of Canada, the USA, Mexico, Central America, Greenland, much of the Caribbean, and an inset of Hawaii. The detail is vast and practically unlimited, and includes 600 individual cities and towns. I drew it between May 2014 and February 2019.
