STORY

Hi! My name is Ben Hammersley and I’m 16. I started this site to teach myself ecommerce, and to have fun. I also want to be able to pay my way through university and get a head start on buying a house one day.

So why start drawing maps? I love art and drawing and I’ve always had maps around the house but they weren’t always the best looking maps. I wanted to have something that was more like a work of art. I love looking at maps and discovering the many details. I love the world of Tolkien and I live in Middle Earth, so the idea came together! I've been taking videos of my drawing and I love getting feedback from people on what they’d like to see next and what to include. You can view my videos on Tiktok by searching up @elvishmaps or by clicking this link.

When you look at my maps, I hope that the world is made more magical for you with places you may have been or want to visit, beautiful landscapes in flowing rivers, dotted highways pushing their way through thousands of tightly packed trees and individual mountains of all sizes popping their heads above the forest canopies to touch the clouds.

Wherever you may live I can make a map in the style of Tolkien for you and bring magic to your home.
