Did I have something better to do? Better might not be the right word, but I definitely had other things that I should have done. But, for whatever reason, the urge to map arose within me. Too lazy to do something on the computer, I grabbed an 8.5x11" piece of white printer paper and a trusty black gel pen and began doodling.

It looks (to me) a lot like
Dyson's work--a style that I haven't ever really tried before. I guess that I shouldn't be surprised: His maps inspire me more than just about anything else that I'm seeing out there right now.
Hopefully, he won't come after me for attempting to use his style.
If I wanted to really emulate him, I would write a little backstory for the map. Unfortunately, too tired for now. Perhaps a kind reader will supply me with one in the comments.

Just stumbled on this beauty of a map Nick. I had the same odd urges today so I started browsing around for some inspiration - I certainly found some, very nicely done!
