Day 2 at Art In The Pen in Skipton.
A great market town in North Yorkshire. Traditionally it was in the West Riding of Yorkshire pre the 1974 boundary change.

Maps are now available in TWO sizes! 🗺️🗺️ AND mounted maps up to 14x18” ship worldwide!!! 🌏
A common comment I get at markets is “Ooh, I love that, but not sure where it would fit.”
So, I’ve spent the last few weeks photographing, editing pics, and reprogramming variants.

I used to get so many orders for maps from EU countries.
When Brexit came into effect in 2019 EU shoppers dwindled - it’s about a FIFTH what it used to be.
A proper customs union would do so much to help fix our broken economy, from huge export industries down to small businesses like me. 🤞

🚨BREAKING🚨
MPs have voted to PASS our bill to establish a UK-EU customs union.
The Prime Minister must now listen to his own MPs, drop his self-imposed red lines and finally go for proper growth through an ambitious trade deal with the EU.

Heya 👋 It’s #PortofolioDay!
I’m Kevin, and I draw maps by hand.
🗺️✍️
I’m inspired by antique maps from centuries ago, when artistry was as important as geography.
My #maps take weeks if not months to produce. I even do my own #calligraphy - no computer-added text here!

Last Saturday I had the pleasure of teaching 21 people how to draw maps by hand! 🗺️✍️
This was at Elvet & Bailey, in Durham, UK.
I’m looking into how I can deliver map drawing workshops online, since not everyone lives in the northeast of England!
