Are we there yet?

My first map pieces were created in 2000. I hadn't been to every state yet (Alaska is the only outlier now), so it's an incomplete set. 

My concept was to use one of my road photos inserted into the state shape, a map of the region, and a handwritten scrap with the location.

This was a labor intensive project - I purchased a set of US vector maps, which I then customized to look similar to Rand McNally road atlas maps. Among other things, it involved changing all the fonts and recoloring the roads. Insanity.

This month, I will be blogging my way through the alphabet,

as part of the Blogging from A to Z Challenge.

With each letter, I am going to feature something about an artwork.
