The next issue of Digital Art Live<\/em> will be themed “Maps” (June 2021). As editor I’d welcome, ideally as digital art, such things as…<\/p>\n

* A general map of the Dreamlands, or Carter’s routes, or Ulthar (ideally with kitties).<\/p>\n

* Curious cross-sectional Lovecraftian diagram-maps, such a hill showing tunnels etc.<\/p>\n

* Map of Innsmouth, Dunwich etc.<\/p>\n

* ‘Genre map’ of the original Lovecraft + circle tales (as opposed to the Derlethian and later expansions). Might be done as an isometric view of a large haunted colonial mansion and estate. Can go a little beyond Lovecraft’s death and the actual mythos (e.g. “F.B. Long’s Greenhouse of Dangerous Plants”, referencing Long’s wartime ‘alien plant’ stories).<\/p>\n

* Guidebook map of an imaginary Lovecraft library\/museum in Providence, with suitably whimsical touches.<\/p>\n

* Condensed four-page timeline-map of Lovecraft’s life, or a two-page chart of his immediate circle and their connections.<\/p>\n

* Map of Lovecraft’s ‘interests and fascinations’ as they waxed and waned during his life.<\/p>\n

* A diagram-map of Lovecraft’s science as presented in the fiction, poems and essays.<\/p>\n

* Maps relating to the work of his circle, if out-of-copyright. e.g. a ‘purist’ original Conan world map (albeit omitting items that may still be contested by copyright trolls).<\/p>\n

* Reworked original public domain maps from the 1920s and 30s, given a Lovecraftian makeover.<\/p>\n

* General ‘genre map’ of weird pulp themes and settings before 1950, showing connections and intertwinglings.<\/p>\n

And any other artistic maps or timelines you may have to hand and think suitable re: science-fiction, weird fantasy, steampunk, for worlds now in the public domain.<\/p>\n

Maps should work as a 4,000 pixel double-page landscape spread, when viewed whole on a widescreen monitor with a height of 1200 pixels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
