done with sumi-e brush and markers. way bigger than my scanner, so i experimented with cleaning up the digital photo in photoshop (check out peter durand’s great post about this)

Great map. Glad you had such a good time in my old home town.
austin says
thanks, liza! which was your hometown–brooklyn or NYC in general?
liza says
Both, actually. I was born and raised in Manhattan, lived in Manhattan quite a lot as an adult but spent my last ten city years in Brooklyn. Now I live in Vermont.
I love your website. Your art is amazing and you write about such interesting ideas and people. So often artist’s blogs are endlessly self referential, I find yours a breath of fresh air.
Austin says
Liza: you are too kind!!
And I like the progression: Manhattan, then Brooklyn, then Vermont. I have yet to visit VT, but I’ve heard nothing but wonderful things…
