Eastern Market Vendor. Need a gift? Here’s an idea from Zach Ammerman of Wild Places Prints. He has 165+ hand-designed prints of maps including DC neighborhoods, Parks, Campuses, Gayborhoods, Queer Washington DC, DC Wards, Cherry Blossoms, and Farmers Markets. Some of his best sellers include a map of Capitol Hill and a map of coffee Shops. Here’s what he Tweeted recently: “Here it is! 5 months of work drawing every structure, bridge, path, park, museum, rec center, or school (or damn well near it) in DC. Every single object on this map was painstakingly and individually drawn by me using no GIS or automation of any kind.” https://www.wildplacesprints.com/
This is the Wild Places artist – Zach – featured in a selfie at the Eastern Market Flea posted today on Twitter. He says he’ll be at Dupont Circle next Saturday.
