Remember our friend, Faelan? Have you wondered what he has been up to lately? If so, take a look at this http://vvikipedia.co/index.php?title=Aln_Void_Expeditionary_Committee. I am so honored to be the Chair of AVEC!
Jerry wants to mail you a postcard!
Jerry wants to send you a postcard of one of his favorite panels like the one above (minus the "watermark" label). Go to Ebay.com, search "Jerry's Map", and find the postcard listings. For $1.99 Jerry will inscribe a card to you, put a stamp on it, and drop it in the mailbox. A novel way to start your collection of Jerry's Map!
Selling on Ebay again
I've posted several Map prints on Ebay again. Take a look at them and buy a few! They are currently priced at $17.02. If they don't sell after a month they will be reduced by 20%.
All proceeds from the sale of Map items go directly back into making more Map.
So, support this project with a few of your dollars. Think of it as like crowd-sourcing. For a nominal contribution you get a beautiful print signed by Jerry!
A new assistant
I am in the process of interviewing candidates to replace Tyler. He is moving on to Grand Rapids where he is going to dazzle the local photography scene. I will miss his talent and steadfastness. He has been an important sounding board for me and has contributed immeasurably to my project. Thanks, Tyler!

Time-lapse at 516 Arts
We put together this time-lapse video of the most recent Map installation at the 516 Arts Gallery in Albuquerque, NM. It took a little over three days, lots of mounting tabs/putty, and a hydraulic lift. The show will be up until October 31st.

I have been 'live tweeting' daily with an image of the panel I'm working on for that day. This has been a part of my process for several months now - if you are on twitter, you can follow me @jerrysmap
Studio Tour
Come along for a little tour of my studio..
Cartographic Perspectives Article Online
Here's recent article I wrote for Cartographic Perspectives, which is the journal for the North American Cartographic Information Society.
Video posts coming up
We've been documenting some of my work in the studio and outdoors (which is something I haven't shared much about, but it is essential to my process). Busy summer days preparing for the exhibition at the end of the month in Albuquerque, NM, gardening, visitors, and recovering from a big storm last week.
Off the Charts at the 516 Gallery
Join us at the opening, August 29th from 6-8pm at the 516 Arts Gallery. Excited for this installation!
Japan in 2016?
This morning I received an invitation to participate in a major Japanese art show next year. I happily accepted but haven't yet heard the details. I'll update the information as soon as I know more.
Framed Panel
This original panel was beautifully framed recently by collector Phil O'Hara

Studio update
Here's a shot of the current state of the studio. In the lower right corner are the boxes which arrived yesterday from the Palais de Tokyo and are waiting to be unpacked, sorted, and stamped.
Jerrysmap.com
Jerrysmap.com is now official! It features an interactive view of the Map and a new storefront. Take a minute to check it out!
More about my Tweets.......
Tyler set me up with a Twitter account (@jerrysmap) about a month ago, and I am loving it! Every morning that I am in the studio I post the first panel that gets drawn via my card system.
I now have 87 followers. I hope that you will join them!
Mail me some Jerry!
Always searching for ways to make my project accessible I have just started offering, on Ebay, to mail you a Map postcard signed by me. For a couple of bucks the charming town of Hue can be guarding your desk or gracing your nightstand. Take a look by clicking that Ebay store link at the right. Of course if you want the real meat of the Map, original panels, they are available at the new website.
Guest Artist Panels
I invite anyone who would like to contribute their artwork to the Map in the form of a guest artist panel. In the past, I have used artist contributions as the as the basis for new Map panels. If you are interested, email your image contributions to gretzingermap@gmail.com. Please understand that Jerry's Map will gradually encroach on your artwork but your imagery will also be introduced on label paper and used as collage throughout Jerry's Map.
