What Makes It Uncommon

keyboard_arrow_up

Even if you've never had to battle a dragon for your beloved, your romance is still an epic adventure. And as all fantasy fans know, a fabulous journey needs a fantastic map. Meet Brendan Lorber, a skilled artist and cartographer whose extraordinary biographical maps are on display in libraries and museums from Bed-Stuy to Edinburgh. With his magical pen (and some help from you), Brendan will transform your love story into a mythic masterpiece that’s worthy of the most legendary realm of all—real life.

  • Taking inspiration from classic fantasy fiction and role-playing games, Brendan crafts each map to represent a tale that's uniquely yours.
  • With help from Brendan’s creative guide, you’ll share your relationship’s defining moments, passionate pursuits, inside jokes, and more; Brendan will turn them into evocative geographic features, such as mountains, lakes, islands, and volcanoes.
  • The subject of your map is entirely up to you: It can span the relationship itself or focus on a specific time frame, such as first date to engagement or a momentous year in a marriage.
  • Drawn on high-quality archival paper, framed, and ready to hang, each map is an heirloom-worthy treasure (and it's especially appropriate to mark a milestone anniversary, like the first—a.k.a., the "paper" one).
  • Hand-drawn in Brooklyn, New York.

If you’re feeling inspired to try some magical mapmaking of your own, you can take a live virtual class with Brendan Lorber here at Uncommon Goods. Learn how to Chart a Love Story, a Life Story,or a Pet's Life; each class comes with our exclusive Mapmaking Kit.

New York

Ride the ferry to Brooklyn and make your way to its tallest hill. There, across the street from a vast Victorian-era cemetery, is the little castle that Brendan Lorber and family call home. This atmospheric locale is well-suited to the poet, writer, artist, and, now, maker of hand-drawn maps inspired by classic fantasy world-building. "I've always loved maps," says Brendan of his creative cartography. "They add a layer of intrigue and a sense of achievement when you get where you were going."
