The Reykjavík center map is an hand-drawn, water colored map of the city center of the capital of Iceland, Reykjavík. The map takes an isometric view to east of the city and was made using a 3D model of the down town area and aerial photographs to ensure accuracy. It is made up of about 140, A-3 water colored drawings.
The map has been praised for its usability, detail and style. It has been printed in 50.000 copies each year since its first publication and is distributed for free. Be sure to look for a free version it while strolling through downtown Reykjavík.

This hand-drawn terrain map of Iceland was made with the use of a 3D model of the whole of the island to ensure accuracy. To amplify the beautiful characteristics of the mountains, glaciers, volcanoes, forests, lakes and rivers of the land we had the use of some great aerial photographs and the advice from the television reporter and pilot extraordinaire Ómar Ragnarsson and his lifelong experience and knowledge of the terrain.
The map has been printed in 75.000 copies each year since its first publication and is distributed for free all around the country. The Reykjavík municipality agency Visit Reykjavík (Höfuðborgarstofa) and promote Iceland (Íslandsstofa) have used the map in promotions for the country.

The department of Environment and Planning oversees all construction and maintenance projects carried out by the city. The department provides advice to residents, councillors, consultants, designers, contractors and others that need advice and information on planning and construction.
The neighborhood development plan is a new type of local plan made for the overgrown neighborhoods - i.e. a plan for a fixed settlement that covers a larger area than a traditional local plan. This new neighborhood plan will combine different neighborhood plans within the city into a single comprehensive plan that simplifies the creation and follow-up of each organization's policy, structure and vision.
In an effort to provide citizens and local residents with a comprehensive vision of the departments proposals the city council approached me to make a illustrated map for specific sections of a designated neighborhood. The locations are all chosen within the city district of Árbær (Árbær, Ártúnsholt and Selás) where the new neighborhood development plan is to be implimented. Located in eastern part of the city, the Árbær neighborhood is well known for its natural surroundings and pristine nature.
The map addresses most of the new schemes and specific designs in these locations. These ideas range from creating new market square, public vegetable gardens and new road applications to individual designs and construction solutions for private housing. Its kind of a “Where's Waldo” for residents to dive into the city's new development plan.

The TOC guide to San Francisco is a hand-drawn and water colored map which highlight the 38 best restaurants in San Francisco as well as 20 landmarks in the city. The map and locations where made using 3D models and aerial photographs to ensure accuracy.
The map is printed on waterproof tear-resistant Tyvek. It's then folded up using an origami technique that allows it to smoothly open and close in one motion, and makes it impossible to misfold.
The project was an international effort in that the clients as well as other collaborators live and work around the world. The map is printed by Yushin-Plus, an art printing company in Tokyo, folded by the Miura-Ori Lab, also in Tokyo and Aen Tan (Singapore) did the typography and layout.
