    joćo paulo, you should post a real pic. Every time I see one of your posts I think you look like your avatar. It's disturbing.

    Just an hour earlier to one of my friends. They thought it was cool but said that maps just didn't excite them. I tell you, people these days...

    Yeah, really. I was at a pub the other day and I asked this lady if she wanted to my peninsula and she slapped me.

    Post I do it everyday!

    I say that everyday! I run a small town graphic design/digital print studio, called 2me Studio, Inc. Invitations, copies, blueprints, architectural plots, logos, photo enlargements - that sort of thing. Its where I base my online business, Gamer Printshop.

    Anyway, I need something to talk about when my customers drop in - so all my customers know about my map work. I show my finished prints, my WIPs, my hand-drawings.

    Sure, most probably think I'm a bit nuts, but then they always thought so anyway. But you'd be surprised with the number of people who respond with, "I'm an artist and...", "My grandson plays RuneQuest...", "I use to play to play D&D...", "wow, that's really cool..." - so I'm not so phobic of my odd hobbies. Because I am making it an alternative income stream - which I tell them, they seem to appreciate it all that more.

    I've actually picked up a couple local commissions by telling people, even via "word of mouth" from another customer who visited my shop, and I talked my talk...
