AMMO Magazine are teaming up with Boat Magazine to host a live illustration event in which contributing artists will draw a map of their London. Boat Magazine is run by the people behind Boat Design Studio; for two months each year they shut their London studio and relocate to another part of the world. Whilst in these cities they rent a house and get involved with local creatives to tell unique stories about the city that you wouldn’t find in any tourist guide. So far they been to Sarajevo & Detroit. For their 3rd issue they’ve decided to stay put and focus on London.

As part of the 3rd issue AMMO & Boat Magazine have joined forces to run an illustration feature, showcasing maps by artists and designers in London (although you’re also welcome to take part if you can get to London for the day!). Out of the artists who take part 5 or 6 will get double page spreads in the magazine. The project is open to illustrators from in and around the capital to come to Boat’s studio space, and create a series of maps of London on Saturday 25th February from 11am.

“Our hope is that the unique interests, passions and beliefs of the creators who make them will shine a light on rich diversity and creativity of the capital. Without any geographic stimulus from maps, tube maps or google, we will ask illustrators to create a depiction of their own London – mapped in a way a stranger could follow.The work will be galleried on this site, and five of the maps will be chosen to be featured in the London issue of Boat Magazine which will hit shelves in April. ”
