Maps of the neighbourhood, maps of imagination, maps of flight and fancy.
Maps can describe a neighbourhood, its history, its people and the imagination of the map’s maker

check out our posters!

I know this may be a bit redundant since these posters are advertising this very blog, but I just spent forever making them and thought they were cool.... so I'm posting them!

Layout sketches

Here is a photo of Pat's concept sketches for one of the murals, just so you get an idea of how all these wood panels will be pieced together. The images are taken from photographs, sketches and drawings from our workshops (you may have been at one!)

The order of the images is not set in stone as we are constantly rearranging and adding images as we go along.

Some interesting images

Here is an image of the first Sunset Community Center. We have another image of Sunset we originally thought was the old Sunset, but turns out it was actually a concept sketch and was never built!
A gravestone with text we may use in the mural.
