An ink and oil paint map of Little Osaka (now officially re-named "Sawtelle Japantown") that I made for "California Fool's Gold" in 2009. It got a little wrinkled because it was raining during the exploration. https://ericbrightwell.com/2009/12/09/california-fools-gold-exploring-little-osaka-%E3%83%AA%E3%83%88%E3%83%AB%E5%A4%A7%E9%98%AA/

Little Bangladesh is a small ethnic enclave in Midtown Los Angeles. It is perhaps, the only officially recognized ethnic enclave within another ethnic enclave (Koreatown). I explored it for my series, "California Fool's Gold," in 2010. https://ericbrightwell.com/2010/05/17/1186/

West Adams, historically, refers to a sub-region of Los Angeles centered along West Adams Boulevard. Today, it also refers to a newer neighborhood of South Los Angeles, also bisected by West Adams. Thus, this map is distinguished as "Historic West Adams."

I moved to Southern California in 1999. I couldn't find a map of all of the neighborhoods of San Diego. I set about making my own -- exploring the vast county on foot and mass transit. Along the way, I drew maps with ink and painted them in watercolors and oil paint -- or some combination (including correction fluid). As a lefty converted to a righty, my handwriting is terrible and my maps are sometimes hard to read when reproduced or reprinted -- and so I've made these clean, digital versions for people who prefer that sort of thing.
