My name is Jon Roberts and I am available to do cartography commissions for print, pdf and virtual tabletop programmes. A sample of my work can be found in my deviantArt gallery (http://torstan.deviantart.com/gallery/#Maps). Please post here or pm me if interested.
Gallery updated with new commissioned work for Rite Publishing (www.ritepublishing.com) and a few personal pieces.
Jon,
That's some nice work. Please PM me with your rates.

Private messaging seems to be buggy on here for me. Please email me through the link above (envelope on the left of my messages) and I'll happily discuss rates with you.
All the best,
Jon
Hiya,
There's a minimum of posts required before your messaging gets activated; it's an anti-spam thing based on a painful porn group-message a few years ago. Anyway, I think three is the magic number, so yours should be OK now.
Best, Ron
Success! Many thanks Ron,
Jon
I've added a new piece in the gallery today - a hand drawn island map intended to be printed on 11" by 17" at 300dpi. It was a different style for me and I'm very pleased with the result.
I've added new art from a recent commission for Wolfgang Baur's Wrath of the River King (http://wolfgangbaur.com/opendesign/river_king.aspx) to my deviantArt gallery. This was a fun commission and the project is published next week.
Jon, that's really gorgeous stuff.
Thanks! There's a lot more in the works, but as always I'm willing to take on new commissions. The New Year is currently treating me really well.
A small bump to show off a recent commission piece - this is an A1 poster map for a new game that is currently in development. The image is here (http://fc67.deviantart.com/fs41/f/2009/051/f/8/World_map_by_torstan.jpg), and resides in my deviantArt gallery (http://torstan.deviantart.com/). There's a few more Wrath of the River King maps in there as well for those who are interested.
I like your work and would be potentially interested to source you for the creation of a world map.
I'll send you an enquiry via email.
I believe pms have been a little buggy on here. If you find that to be the case, please get in touch a j_roberts00<delete this>@yahoo.com. I look forward to hearing from you.
For everyone else, what would a post be without some new art? I've got a new map up, a temple inside a hanging frozen waterfall with a dragon trapped beneath the floor. I hope you like it.
I now have a proper website rather than just a deviantArt gallery. The website is:
www.fantasticmaps.com
This has my contact information, some free stuff, including a dungeon tiles pack, commissioning information and, of course, a gallery!
In other news, I have some pdf map booklets up at RPGNow and the other one bookshelf stores:

It's also possible to buy a number of recent maps on Gamer Printshop as full scale laminated battlemaps. That can be found here:

If you are interested in getting me to create maps, bear in mind that I can also get your maps to appear in these other areas. This increases your visibility (my maps have made the front page of enworld for the last few weeks) and offer new ways of generating revenue.
I just did an interview with Kobold Quarterly (the Ennie nominated agazine and website) and it's up on the front page:
