Yesterday, I chatted with Carlton Reid about the #Petrofuture project. Here's his write-up in Forbes, just in time for Earth Day...

A preview of the London #Petrofuture — the first of the Britain and Ireland series. I’m still working on these, so it might be a while before I post others.

Petrofuture France—66m sea level rise on a 1969 Shell Oil road map of France

The France #Petrofuture was the first full series where I used maps digitized in my own studio, allowing me to dramatically expand the scope of the project.

So much appreciation for the Rumsey Map Center, where I got the first few dozen base maps!

Petrofuture Cote d'Azure--66m sea level rise on a 1969 Shell Oil gas station map

‪I was recently asked why some maps are #Retrofuture, and some #Petrofuture.

I understand the confusion...

The Retrofuture maps are based on any antique map: https://conspiracyofcartographers.com/retrofuture-gallery

The #Petrofuture are always based on vintage maps from gas station or auto-oriented companies: https://conspiracyofcartographers.com/petrofuturegallery

I wanted to make the distinction between what is directly aimed at petro corps and everything else...even though ultimately it's all aimed at petro corps

Plus, the Petrofuture pun delights me
