Daniel P. Huffmanさんのイラストまとめ

Daniel, vs. the tallest tree that Daniel has yet climbed.

My first #30DayMapChallenge piece (Day 9, Space) is secretly just something I already made and tweeted out a week ago. But, I made it mostly within 1 day, and I technically finished it in November, so it sort of counts.

Been poking at this idea for a decade, but never had the skills to get it right. Finally able to put it together recently, set up as an 18×24 poster on the off chance I ever want to print one.

I haven't really filled in most of the fiction behind it; that's left to the reader.

@infowetrust @recifs @kennethfield Distortion does not vary by scale, at least in absolute terms — this is why projection choice tends to be more critical for small-scale maps. Instead the distortion increases based on your distance from certain critical areas that the cartographer can (often) specify.

Maybe others are already doing this, but I don't recall seeing anything like this in the wild.
Besides Tissot's indicatrix, another visualization option would be the gradients output by daan Strebe's Geocart.

@AntonThomasMaps Reprojecting to some variety of polar azimuthal would look interesting, but probably not in the intended way =).

New on the blog: Landforms of Michigan Mini-Tour. Stealing a good idea from @AntonThomasMaps, I'll take you on a quick, semi-educational jaunt through a few interesting places featured on my map of Michigan terrain.

Just thinking this evening about how I am a big fan of getting to draw swooping curves on maps.
