What Makes It Uncommon

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."

An amazing work of art

My wife and I both grew up on fantasy books and loved daydreaming over the maps inside, so this was the perfect anniversary gift. The map is beautiful and the little details are amazing (the street name where our first apartment was located ended in "cove" so it was depicted as a cove on the coast, and one of our favorite restaurants has "castle" in the name so it was drawn as a castle). My only suggestion for buyers is that while it makes a great surprise gift, if I had to do it again (and I might) I would recommend ordering it together. Because going through old photos and emails to come up with ideas to populate the map was honestly half the fun.
