I recently completed this map to commemorate a vacation four couples took together last year. I was asked to come up with something unique and one of a kind. The map idea came to me, and I designed a quick sketch, which the clients liked. The map is 44”x30”, illustrated on stretched hot press watercolor paper, using watercolor and colored pencil. The clients shared favorite photos with me, and I added a legend with keys to each place and special memory. A digital scan was done, and prints made so each couple can enjoy reflecting on their amazing time together. I am grateful they trusted me with this opportunity. It was a FUN, challenging project, and I built a relationship with the piece as it slowly came together. It could possibly be one of the top ten illustration gigs I’ve had in my long career. It reminds me how much I love creating for others. ❤️
