DOODLE MAPS (Self Initiated Project)..

I've always been interested in maps that somehow tell stories and these are really just an extension of that same thread..

A set of hand-illustrated, written notes and anecdotes on an informal 'overlay' upcycling free and existing tourist leaflet maps.. The first experiment spanned two years and over two holiday visits to the lovely little Spanish island of Menorca.. It's a bit like an insider's guide: recording and quickly sketching experiences, top tips, thoughts, warnings etc through personal experiences.. My latest 'Doodle Map' is a hand-illustrated overlay (ongoing) over a free tourist map of the county of Shropshire, UK.
