Land of Gold and Silver Apples (2014)

Description

This is a map of the Land of Gold and Silver Apples, a place where the fairytales that many of us heard as children take place. It also shows how one clever cat, running for his life, is the mastermind behind all of these folk stories. This map is to be viewed as a story, but it does not have a linear narrative. Instead, you are free to read the different captions in any order you like.

I created this map for the Cartographers' Guild 2014 February/March Lite Challenge. The goal of the challenge was to create a map of a fairytale. I drew the landscape completely by hand, and then digitally coloured it and added the notes and texture. The entire project was completed in less than 1 month. The title of this map comes from a poem by Keats.
