hello.
i'm working on a commission. i kinda get to do whatever i want, the only stipulation being that the piece includes something innately trinidadian. since i was was just waiting for a reason to do a real map of woodford square (i'd done a sketch early last week for a work related thing but wasnt required to do any real mapping) this request came along at the perfect time.
i've never done anything like this before so its fun stumbling around tryna figure out how to kinda simplify / idealise some of the features and deciding what to put in and generally how the thing should look. i want it to look illustrative but not too cartoonish and still sort of like a real map. i spent the little bits of free time between other jobs on the weekend making studies. i havent figured everything out yet but i need to hurry up cus it has to be done by tomorrow so im in for a long night.
here are some preliminaries.
feedback would be great. i need to get more ppl reading this blog.

I see why you are satisfied with the fence shape.
I quite dig.
I still dig the one with the lettering and the icons for the landmarks is also very effective.
Do the thing!
