This semester, I'm a guest lecturer for a worldbuilding class at USC School of Dramatic Arts.

I use real-world places to create fictional geographies. In this case, I've cobbled together a few Venezuelan #tepuis to create an archipelago...these are a couple of test renders based on the map.

Remember--Islands are mountains.

This semester, I'm collaborating teaching a worldbuilding class at the USC School of Dramatic Arts.

I'll be showing the class techniques for creating fictional places from real geographies. I've cobbled together a few Venezuelan #tepuis to create an archipelago...this is the draft map.

Remember--Islands are mountains.

Hello new followers! I thought I'd post something to welcome you all...

I gave a guest lecture at a USC School of Dramatic Arts world building studio...mixing history/nostalgia with disaster for the Retrofuture and Petrofuture maps.

I ended with an example of fictional worlds from real-world places...Hollywood with an impact crater.
