Alexander Parker (AxelMaps + Casa Axel)

PhotoShop aficionado and indulger of all things nerdy.
I have dipped in and out of many different styles of digital media over the years, though overall I am most passionate about cartography (map-making).
Through the last decade or so, I have refined my craft and have created many of my own unique maps. These mysterious and fantastical realms were made to accompany my own personal projects and original stories/concepts. I am an incredibly focused individual, and enjoy working long hours to painstakingly compose these cartographic projects. I like to think that my particular style of map-making leans more towards a 'realistic' style; adopting and manipulating existing textures from satellite photos.
I love what I do, and I am in it solely for the personal satisfaction of it, though I have been known to complete commissions in the past.
My style of mapmaking works well for use in works of literature/novels, as well as in Dungeons and Dragons/Tabletop Gaming campaigns. I am a strong believer that a detailed map provides the backbone to any fictitious world!

I also enjoy creating brand identities, advertisements and all forms of print media, and on occasion, I like to dip my hand in character design/concept art.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions, need any more information, want to enquire about a commission, or simply want to chat! And please feel free to browse my work. I hope you enjoy, and I appreciate any feedback you have!
