Sky reached out from North East and asked whether I would draw her community. Starting with a resident's invitation changed the project: I looked for the places she and her neighbors might recognize rather than treating the town as a stop on a map.
Details in the drawing
The wraparound artwork includes Turkey Point Lighthouse, Elk Neck State Park, Historic Main Street and Upper Bay Museum. Each is part of the place this mug was drawn to remember.

A gift idea with a real place behind it
For the person who returns to North East whenever they can, the mug can mark a familiar stop. Find Turkey Point Lighthouse and Elk Neck State Park together in the drawing; then pair the gift with a note about the next visit you hope to share.
