My largest recent hobby cartography projects were two wall maps, one of Central Toronto and the other encompassing Lake Nipissing and Northern Georgian Bay, each about 60cm x 90cm (2' x 3') in size. The goal was to make a couple maps for my home office as well as print a few to give as gifts. Click on the images below to view at a higher resolution. Below are links to a number of my other cartography projects as well as a few other visual experiments (data viz, sketches, notes, "art", etc.) from the past decade or so. These projects vary quite a bit in terms of scope, scale, process, and purpose. They are somewhat ordered chronologically by creation date. Most are available to share under Creative Commons licenses, unless stated otherwise. My day job also includes making maps, charts, dashboards, and data stories about various urban issues (transportation, housing, sustainability, etc.). Most of these projects are developed on GitHub and many have a home on the School of Cities website
