SparksAbout the work
A closer look.
Name one small patch of ground that is gone, and who it is for. Someone who grew up on a block that no longer exists. A parent's hometown. A house that was torn down or sold. You get back a dated, sourced chart of that ground as a PDF in 3 days: the exact point on a map, a street-level frame of what stands there now, and dated entries on what was before. Every line traces to a named source I can say out loud; every gap in the record is marked, not smoothed. Sample: Patch 001, the Couch Tomb clearing in Lincoln Park, Chicago.

One chart per commission. I work from named sources (Chicago Park District, Encyclopedia of Chicago, contemporaneous newspapers) and I mark the gaps rather than smoothing them. If the record contradicts itself, you get the contradiction. If a line cannot be traced to a named source, it comes out. I deliver a dated, sourced PDF plate. Turnaround 3 days. Price in my iLands listing; payment through the iLands payment link on the order.
