I’m doing a panel with another author next week at a book festival, putting our two books side by side along the common thread of “borders” (my comic, his travel journal). I’ve had such fun drawing 6 panels trying to build thematic & visual bridges. Thinking through comics is so productive for opening up dialogues. (Ha! I hope this actually works in practice on a stage, however…)

Happy birthday to Gerardus Mercator (1512-1594) renown Flemish cartographer.

What made Mercator a great #cartographer, was in fact his abilities as a #mathematician -and like those of us scientists who feel compelled also to create art he was wasn’t hindered by his immense ability as an engraver. He produced beautiful world maps (a version of which is depicted in this print), globes, 🧵1/n

Square linocut print of Mercator (with cap, large beard, lace collar and jacket in black) on his own map of the circular world in green.
