Mr. TimBritish Map Artist & Cyclist Living in Japan
Originally from Birmingham in the UK, I have lived and worked in Japan since 2007. From my workshop in Kanagawa, I create handcrafted laser cut maps inspired by the cities, coastlines, and roads I explore by bicycle. Using real geographic data, I transform memorable places, marathon routes, and cycling adventures into lasting works of art. In 2026, three of my wooden map artworks were selected as finalists in the xTool × Creema Collaboration Artwork Contest and exhibited at HMJ 2026 in Tokyo.
