Tyson makes a variety of different maps for the web and on commission.
Though Tyson makes his maps and treats any that aren’t for employees of the web as more like hobbies than anything else, he takes great pride in making his maps the best possible quality that he can. Maps are his life. He literally sees them with his form of Synesthesia and it informs much of his thinking/organising process.
He wants to be able to share them. To pour his time and love into those maps and for them to be appreciated in the same way that Tyson appreciates all maps.
Of course, he knows how to make incredibly accurate maps, but Tyson also makes sure to spare no expense in making sure that he uses the best quality paper, fabrics, and inks. Even though he doesn’t necessarily need to, Tyson does make a small profit on his maps to justify the time spent making them.
As much as he loves topographical maps, Tyson prefers to make city maps. Both can be incredibly detailed and take a long time to complete, but the contour lines of topographical maps are particularly involved; especially on delicate fabric maps where Tyson is having to poke a lot of the thinner lines into the fabric with an ink-dipped needle.
Tyson stores his map making materials under his bed at his pet store, often using the upper floor as an extended drying rack. Sometimes simple cheap options offer the best solutions. Within the box of expensive inks, some of which have to be specially ordered weeks in advance, Tyson has a cheap tub of lube picked up at a nearby garage whilst buying a sandwich for lunch.
He uses that lube on his needles to make sure that the part not covered in ink cannot snag the delicate fabric or disrupt the drying ink and remove hours of work in seconds. Tyson had tried a few other solutions before that, but they would all discolour the paler inks too much when drying or cause the ink to spread too far; leaving fuzzy edges where he had spent so long crafting clean lines.
