How many of you remember enjoying looking at maps of fantasy worlds when you were young? (Or maybe still do?) I definitely did, and still do enjoy it.
Whether it was Oz, Narnia, Middle Earth, Treasure Island, or the worlds of Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Pokémon, and more, I always liked taking a top-down look at all the places I had read about or played across in my video games and imagining the additional distances between them.
And I also enjoyed drawing my own.
(Any other map artists out there??)
Although my illustrated children's book of 32 pages hardly required such a treatment, I decided it would be enough fun to design to justify the extra work, and it became the artwork for the back cover of The Tocks on the Clock, pictured above.
My hope: if the book is lying around on a coffee table somewhere, it may even catch the eye of a curious adult, able to recapture some of the fun of the possibilities of youth. And for the kids who enjoy it: covert geography vocabulary lesson! 😄
If you still haven't been to the "Land of the Tocks," the world and its denizens await you in The Tocks on the Clock available now: https://www.kintoumedia.com/read
