Brasco /// hosts Jeff Wilson for First Friday

Jeff Wilson’s ParMar Media journey began back in 2015 when he saw a map that he really liked and wanted, but just didn’t care for its “sterile” color pattern. Convinced that he could create the great map he pictured in his head, he dove head first into learning how to use GIS software, while enlisting his wife to help teach him the basics of Illustrator and Photoshop. It was a long and at times frustrating journey, but well worth it in the end!

Inspiration for the maps mainly comes from things that Jeff has seen and the places that he has been or wants to visit. He also enjoys finding vintage maps of old cities and revamping them with his own style and color schemes. His eye for creating awesome color combinations make the ParMar Media maps standout and speak to the individuality of himself, as well as the one who purchased it.

The ParMar Story

The name ParMar Media came from the family’s rescue pup. Marley (Mar) is not only the beloved family pooch, she is also the Chief Slobber Officer (CSO). Being the magical unicorn that she is, Marley defied all odds and survived the Parvo (Par) virus TWICE as a puppy. Parvo can be deadly for dogs, so for Marley to come out on top after having it twice is incredible. The map art that Jeff creates (and that Marley supervises) is one-of-a-kind, just like Marley (A.K.A. Parvo Pup)!

Every ParMar Media map comes with a little bit of Marley love!
