I want to publish and risograph print a LOT of maps with ANEMONE. Let's be prolific!
Drawn by me, drawn by you, collaboratively drawn by you and some friends, maps drawn while blindfolded, maps drawn using the Exquisite Corpse method, maps of cities, maps of rivers, maps of cooking, maps that are useful or not. Here's some ideas, some of which I will draw, or you can draw them first. Send me your ideas if you wish, and I can add them here.
Printed
Evergreen ideas
- Your neighborhood, with favorite places
- Libraries, Parks, P-patches, Tool Libraries, and other resources in your town/city/neighborhood/region
- Imaginary map of your city as you envision it way better (post-police-abolition, with green new deal, cars banned, gardens everywhere, land use, etc)
- Map of an idyllic cabin land/camp/artist retreat/studios, with sauna, hot tub, garden, orchard, treehouse, etc - what do you dream?
- Scavenger hunt
- Map of Little Free Libraries near you
