Doodle Atlas

Ever wondered why two countries fight over a line on a map — or how the world ended up shaped the way it is?

Doodle Atlas tells the strange, human stories behind the lines on our maps. Borders and empires, drowned islands and lost languages, and the quiet decisions that made the modern world — explained in plain language, with no jargon and no lectures.

Some of it is geopolitics. Some of it is history and culture. Most of it is the kind of thing that makes you stop and say "wait, that actually happened?"

Written and narrated by me, and illustrated in ink and watercolour — the artwork is AI-generated.
