Seven lines. Seven datasets.

Each line answers to one body of measurements. Below: what the line is, where the numbers come from, and how far along it is. The whole range is currently unavailable to order.

A Year of the Moon

Every day of 2027 as a moon glyph, in twelve month blocks. Full moon names, supermoons and lunar eclipses marked; all instants in UTC.

Phase instants are computed rather than copied: exact times of every new, first-quarter, full and last-quarter moon, per-day illumination evaluated at 12:00 UTC, and a supermoon flag where the Earth-Moon distance at the full-moon instant falls under 360,000 km. Every full-moon and eclipse date was checked against the USNO and NASA tables before the file was allowed to render.

LakeLines print of Torch Lake, Michigan: nested pale blue depth contours on a deep navy ground, with a spec plate giving max depth and coordinates.
LakeLinesMI / MN DNR bathymetric depth contours + USGS NHD shoreline
013 In preparation

LakeLines

A lake drawn as what it actually is underwater - nested depth contours, surveyed, with the maximum depth and the coordinates set in the margin.

Michigan and Minnesota publish real vector contour services, so those lakes are drawn from them directly. Where a state does not - Wisconsin inland lakes and most named national reservoirs - there is no print. Those rows sit in the catalogue as source-discovery entries and stay unlisted rather than being filled in with a plausible-looking shape.

077 On hold

Apex Lines

A circuit reduced to the one thing that matters: the closed ring of the track, intended to be traced from surveyed geometry rather than redrawn by eye.

The current local review admits 57 of 60 circuit rows. Long Beach, Mid-Ohio and Monaco fail the identity or closed-ring checks, and the sets that would have contained them remain held. This line is not currently offered while the source and physical-print checks remain unresolved; the renderer does not fall back to cached or fixture geometry.

Cask & Compass print of Scotland's whisky distilleries: 159 numbered points coloured by region over a fine outline map, with a numbered legend beneath.

Cask & Compass

A working map of distillery names and coordinates, prepared for a verified regional print when its source records are current.

The local working set uses Wikidata coordinates where available and a recorded geocoding fallback, with a source URL retained per row. Names are used factually: no logos, label art or bottle silhouettes. The set remains on hold while source completeness, freshness and physical-print readiness are checked; it is not currently offered for sale.

Summit Sheet peak-bagging checklist poster for the Colorado 14ers: a ranked list of 58 summits with tick boxes, set on a dark ground.

052 In preparation

Summit Sheet

A peak-bagging checklist you tick off, ordered properly - by prominence-ranked elevation, with the full list rather than a rounded-off selection.

The point of a checklist is that it is complete, so the row count is the test. Colorado 14ers: 58. Munros: 282. Wainwrights: 214. Adirondack 46: 46. New Hampshire 48: 48. Twelve lists in total, each validated against its stated count before it is allowed to render - a sheet that quietly drops a summit is a broken product.

Gradient Climb

A famous climb as its own elevation profile - one bar per kilometre, shaded by gradient, with the numbers that make the suffering legible.

Forty climbs are drawn and the source attribution is set on the face of every sheet. The profiles currently come from a reproducible local build rather than a live fetch, so before any of these go on sale each climb's route and elevation must be pulled live and reconciled against its published reference stats. Until that runs, the line is not for sale.

Cleared Direct

An airport stripped to its geometry - runways and taxiways in the layout a pilot actually reads, with nothing decorative added.

The renderer and its colourways are built, but the sample airports are drawn from schematic rows, not from live survey geometry. That is a real difference and it is not one to paper over: nothing here goes on sale until every airport is rebuilt from current FAA NASR data and cached Overpass aeroway geometry, and checked against the published FAA diagram.

Physical editions

Plans for paper and framing.

These plans are for future physical editions. Format and delivery details will be confirmed with each listing before orders open.

01

Planned paper

For future physical editions, 200gsm matte paper is the planned stock. Final paper details will be listed with each edition.

02

Production plans

Physical editions are planned for partner production. Production location and delivery options will depend on the edition and destination.

03

Framing options

Framed and unframed formats are planned. Available sizes and framing choices will be confirmed before any edition is offered.
