How I Made This: Anton Thomas’s Pictorial Maps

It’s fair to say that Melbourne-based cartographer Anton Thomas is obsessive. When making one of his hand-drawn illustrated maps, he descends into what he calls “map hermitdom.” It gets so bad that he can’t make eye contact with people in the supermarket; going out to pick up a pint of milk feels like it might derail the entire process.
Thomas is currently working on a world map titled Wild World. This map will be adorned with landforms and animals specific to each region
