@sara I'm giddy! But expectations are tempered.
@sara best micro-season in Austin. Grape kool-aid is in the air
@lyzidiamond why not give your archived writing a new web home?

It's been a long journey (over year since I began), but there's finally now a first public release of the oblique hachures method. With many thanks to @SouthArrowMaps, who significantly refined the methodology from what I began with.

New project 11 months in the making! Lilies & Roses of P.J. Redouté. I created a digital edition of two of his most stunning collections of illustrations from 1802–1833. Colorful posters and an in-depth blog post about how it was made:

Lilies & Roses of P.J. Redouté

Digital edition of Pierre-Joseph’s illustrations of roses and lilies

I know many people are here for the pretty pictures, so I thought I'd show off some of these, one per day, for a few days. Starting with the the highest point on the planet, Mount Everest.

After months of work, I've created a new series of posters in a hachure style reminiscent of centuries past. Have a look: https://terrainlines.etsy.com/

If these aren't for you, but you still want to support my work, share them around!

@awoodruff amazing! I'm sooooo tempted!
@pinakographos ooooh having multiple of these mountains receding into the distance. I love that approach!
@pinakographos I'm so excited about these developments, Daniel! By any chance is an SVG output possible here?
