Cartography & Books

I'm the regional-map illustrator for a series of military-history books written by historian Brian Todd Carey, in collaboration with tactical-map illustrator Joshua B. Allfree. My maps set the campaigns, shifting frontiers, and battle sites of each era in their geographic context — turning complex history into clear, considered cartography. Across six volumes, the work spans from the ancient Near East to the age of the Crusades.
