Garrison's Map Revisions

Spring Hill College

2008-09-02T12:32:00.000-07:00

This is Spring Hill College, in Mobile, Alabama. As usual, this was originally drawn by Roy Norrell, and recently updated by me for a possible new printing:
I added the New Residence Hall (19, on the left), created a new Nan Altmayer Place (17, left central portion), and made changes to the library (2, left central portion), along with a few other sundries.

JSU

2008-08-20T07:57:00.000-07:00

Here's Jacksonville State University. Again, I've taken a map that was originally painted by Roy Norrell and updated it for a new printing:

I added the track and field, baseball field, soccer field, tennis courts, and softball field. I also added Paul Snow Stadium (28) and Kennamer Hall (20). I took out Abercrombie Hall, Luttrell Hall, and the Heating Plant. And then I added the Carlisle Fine Arts Facility (9).

USM, 2008

2008-08-13T07:41:00.000-07:00

I already did an update of this map of the University of Southern Mississippi, when I did the 2007 version. Now I've done a new update, mostly just changing out the ads on the balloons and billboards:

I also added an archway entrance to the Village (#3), enlarged the Powell Ogletree Alumni House (#138), and added a building to the front of the M. M. Roberts Stadium (#126). And I drew a new scoreboard for the stadium, among various other small odds and ends around the map. Click the close-ups below, to see them in greater detail:

UAB, 2008

2008-03-21T08:18:00.000-07:00

Check out this newest update to The University of Alabama at Birmingham, originally painted by Roy Norrell. I added the Medical Towers, Women & Infants Facility, UAB Highlands, and the Tennis Courts. I also added a small football practice field next to the old one, and I rearranged some streets that were a little off. And I removed Hixson Hall, and replaced the old Bishop Building with the new SEBLAB. And updated the index accordingly.

Samford University, 2008

2008-02-11T11:01:00.000-08:00

Here's the latest update to Samford. This was originally illustrated by Roy Norrell, then updated by me last year. Now here it is with a few more adjustments, getting it ready to be printed for a 2008 publication:

Here's the Campus Index:

Louisiana Tech University

2007-09-16T09:04:00.000-07:00

This is another update of a map originally painted by Roy Norrell. Here's the new version of Louisiana Tech University:

I moved the tennis courts from where they were (on the upper right, close to J. C. Love Field), to a new location (in the upper middle, close to Joe Aillet Stadium). And I got rid of some stands that the old version showed by the Track (upper middle). I also added the Biomedical Engineering Building (#89, in the lower left) and the Trenchless Technology Facility (#88, in the South Campus section). And I updated the index to reflect those changes, of course.

UNA

2007-06-15T07:08:00.000-07:00

Here's another college update - The University of North Alabama, originally illustrated by Roy Norrell. I just had to change the ads around and stick a few vehicles in there:
In case you're wondering why these are often composed with empty corners -- That's because they're printed with ads all around the edges, and sometimes there are also a few ads overlapping the corners of the map.

I just painted this ad. It'll go on the outside edge of the map, if it passes muster:

Calera, AL

2007-05-02T07:26:00.000-07:00

Here's a map of Calera, Alabama, illustrated by Jim Baird. I made a few changes to it, and put it up here so the salesmen could have a look at it:

NGCSU '07

2007-03-21T10:00:00.000-07:00

Here are some more changes to North Georgia College and State University, in Dahlonega, GA (originally painted by Roy Norrell). They wanted me to make the parking lots bigger, add 3 traffic lights, and make a few other minor alterations:

Franklin County, TN

NGCSU, in progress

2006-11-27T13:53:00.000-08:00

This is North Georgia College & State University, another update I'm doing from an original by Roy Norrell:

A few of the billboards still aren't finished, because I don't have the logos and info yet.

Franklin County, TN Line Drawing

2006-11-24T13:37:00.000-08:00

Here's the line drawing for Franklin County, Tennessee, as drawn by another artist in my boss's employ: Joe Attaway:

Due to an overly heavy work load, Joe couldn't finish the job, so it falls to me to complete it.

They had me make a bunch of changes to the drawing: I added seven buildings, two trucks, a billboard, a street, five town names, and 31 street names; I removed one building and one billboard; and I rearranged or changed 26 buildings, a street, a truck, and two parts of the water line, all while trying to duplicate Joe's fun and funky, spontaneous inking style. Now I'm finally ready to start coloring the dern thing! And adding all the logos and stuff.

Samford University

2006-07-07T11:12:00.000-07:00

Here's another update of a Roy Norrell. Samford is right here in B'ham, where I live. My mom went there!
Here's where I added Bulldog Spirit Plaza (15), the new Pete Hanna Hall (17), a new softball field (18), the new tennis center (19), and some student apartments (51).
I also added the new Jane Hollock Brock Recital Hall (7). Making the style match the surrounding buildings ain't easy!

Grambling

2006-06-28T09:31:00.000-07:00

Here's another update of a Roy Norrell. Mostly I just changed the billboards and a balloon, to put in the new advertisers.In the 2003 version, they had a big G with a tiger jumping through it, which I had to replace with a "Since 1901" banner. I added buildings 10 and 12 (on the left), a practice football field (right), a new arena, and a soccer field.

NSU

2006-05-27T14:24:00.000-07:00

Here's another one, originally done by Roy Norrell, which I recently updated. I added a second baseball field, the Physical Plant (119), the Equine Center (130), and the roads and apartments at University Place (61). I changed a few names and numbers, and deleted a couple of buildings that are being demolished.

I keep to Roy's style, so nobody will notice it's been worked on by a different hand. I hope!

UAH

2006-05-24T13:09:00.000-07:00

I just got a new job drawing these cartoon maps. Here's one that was pencilled by the late great Roy Norrell, which I then inked and painted.
And here's a close-up from that.The colors are mostly flat, because it was a bit of a rush job. But I hope to make them more painterly in the future.
