• How many markers can I specify?
  10 at a minimum, 30 max. 15-20 works well.
• Can I really place markers anywhere in the world?
  Yes, but I may have to move any outliers in to the borders of the image for aesthetic reasons.
• How long can the marker names and title/subtitle be?
  20 characters max. 10-15 works well.
• Does every map get a logo next to the title?
  A simple and "beautifully-utilitarian" logo will be designed based on your title.
• Can I decide on the lines and colors used?
  No, not yet. For now, a variety of vibrant colors will be used and the lines are left to my creative process.
• Can I see a proof of the image before it is printed?
  Sorry, I don't have the time to provide proofs right now. What's unique about my pieces is that you get to be intimately involved in their content. The rest is left to my creative process.
• Can I be more involved in the creative process?
  Sure, if you're interested in more of a one-on-one commission, I'm sure we can work something out. See an example of a more customized Mapuccino here.

  Yes, with an edition mark of "1/1" to denote it's an original.
