    Map Can't... Stop... Mapping...

    I seem to have a problem.

    It was pointed out to me by my ex girlfriend when she was cleaning up her apartment. She found over a dozen post-it notes around the place with mini maps on them.

    Stuff like this (she photographed this one to send along)

    an RPG blog, with a few maps

    Pretty much all my maps are drawn by hand - ink on paper - and then scanned and contrast-enhanced

    Oh, that's brilliant

    I've been known to leave wierd notes behind when grocery shopping or visiting friends, but never a map

    I do the same thing for cars, super heroes, logo designs, cartoons, and ornaments but never maps. You should see a doctor and maybe they can prescribe a topical ointment to clear that up Good stuff man and keep on mappin.

    I have these log sheets at the lab I work where I'm supposed to keep track of chemicals used, and about a dozen of them have little maps doodled on them.

    I feel your pain, Dyson.

    Heh, I'm like that at work. Not so much with doodled maps, but with little note about procedures and techniques to try. And, of course, I always forget them when I'm ready to head for home and try them out.

    It's all good though, cause it leaves my co-workers wondering what kind of nutcase I am.

    That's a cool little map. I always have stacks of used paper (stuff printed on one side - flip over and use blank side) that I use to write down ideas, draw rough maps, doodle strange little creatures/character/weird designs, and so on. Often I do all of the above on the same piece of paper. No matter what room I'm in, I usually have a small stack on a clip board so I can brainstorm and jot down ideas (especially if I'm sitting in front of the TV). Once I finish reusing the paper, then it gets recycled.
    Cheers,
