This is art that I did for my friend's production of a serial fantasy epic called Christina and the Clockwork Boy.  It was a nice return to my childhood obsession with imaginary maps.

And in vaguely-related news, my incredibly talented mother has been crafting the most mindboggling handmade felt mice and corresponding environments since I was in Kindergarten, and at last they are getting famous.  She's currently using them to illustrate a children's book with, as I understand it, some big-shot New York children's book author.  Here are some of her mice:

Happily, there are lots more mice on her blog, Mouseshouses. Seriously, check it now, because she's going to be huge.
