The Disputed Territory started with a map. A few years ago, I decided to hand draw a map of the Republic of Texas. After months of research it was obvious there wasn't a clear precise version. However, one thing was consistent... an area named the disputed territory.

​

This led down a path of history, and a decision that one day I would do something more with this little documented name on the map. It wasn't until the map was completed that the first idea for this story came to be. 

​

The collaboration that followed. is where the story took off. A long list of collaborators have helped take this from a map to an ongoing series.
