The Wollongong Map: The story, techniques and processes behind drawing Wollongong eBook
I’ve written this journal to provide you, the reader, with details on how and why
I drew The Wollongong Map. In it you will find the driving forces, the struggles,
the triumphs and the many hours spent at my drawing desk.
I created this journal for three main reasons:
1 - To share my story and artistic endeavors
2 - To explain why Wollongong is such a special part of the world
3 - To influence the reader to connect with place
I’ve always been interested in why artists create things in a certain way and at
certain times in their life. I’ll share these insights so you aren’t left wondering.
Consider this a snapshot in time for future artists and cartographers to build
on.
It’s amazing what you can achieve with persistence and patience. I believe that
you have the ability to create amazing things if you believe in yourself. So to
kick things off in this journal, I encourage you to first think about your own
situation and how you can create something beautiful for this wonderful
world. It may be a small sketch, a song, a map, a poem, a wood carving or a
pottery cup. Keep going, you can do this, now lets get into it :)
