Hallo r/Litauen, ich bin ein französischer Kartograph, der die ganze Ostsee entlang reist, von Lübeck bis Stockholm, und ich habe eine Karte erstellt, die von meinen Reisen inspiriert ist! [OC]

Can I have your profession? You just wander the earth, do it on your own pace and make analog maps, that are no longer required in this day&age. You experience no real jeopardy or pressure. Just blanc book of cheques for travel and expences
I like the style. Is there a way to buy these maps?
Hi!
Are there any practical benefits from the maps you draw which would outweigh let’s say a mass printed political map of the world? Or is this now mainly for the aesthetic and feel these days?

Stupid question: what do modern cartographers do?
Wow, Jacques Paganel indeed visited Lithuania at some point
Anyway, I wish you luck on your further travels, if there will be more
Maps for magazines, books and museums 🙂 also some maps for fun like this one, in the hope people order them!
So, just a hobby project that went too far and ended up being a 40×50 cm map of the Baltic sea, borrowing its warm and deep hues from the amber, the most famous export of the region, a luxury that made the region rich and famous.
This mineral-like substance formed millions of years ago from tree resin and it is today extracted on the shores of the baltic, making the two deep intertwined, geographically and historically.
(I have become a bit obsessed by amber along my travel in the area. you may feel that way reading this, and you’re right)
On the other hand, a rich blue gradient shows in great detail the bathymetry of the Baltic Sea, from the very shallow and frigid waters of the Gulf of Finland that freeze every winter, to the deep areas of the central area, off Gotland and the sandy shores of the lagoons found along Poland or Kaliningrad.
Traditionnal embroidery patterns from Lithuania featured on the map also echo another facet of the rich culture of the region, by paying tribute to this ancient and important craftmanship.
I had a good time in Vilnius, beautiful city and lovely people!
More maps on my website, hope you like it!
why tf does Baltic Sea look like a guy peeing but he has a machine gun for a dick? 🤔
