“Presenting a wide range of maps from the collection of the Hand Drawn Map Association, From Here to There is a guidebook to DIY cartography. From directional doodles and artfully illustrated sites to found and fictional diagrams, this compact compilation offers illustrations of maps and the stories behind their creation or discovery. Made by artists, adventurers, and caring citizens, they reveal real and imaginary places in delightful detail. Tonight, graphic designer and Hand Drawn Map Association founder Kris Harinski joins contributors Will Haguhery and Matthew Rodriguez in presenting highlights from the book.”

In March 2008 graphic designer Kris Harzinski founded the Hand Drawn Map Association. Fascinated by these accidental records of a moment in time, Harzinski soon amassed a wide variety of maps, ranging from simple directional maps, to maps of unusual or fictional places, including examples drawn by well-known historical figures such as Abraham Lincoln, Ernest Shackleton, and Alexander Calder. Kris Harzinski along with the book contributors Will Haguhery and Matthew Rodriguez present a selection of these artifacts that tell stories of people around the world.
