CARIBBEAN PARADISE ISLAND
Exotic island maps are among my favorite maps to draw. If you enlarge the image of the Barbados map you will see how much effort was required to accurately depict the web of roads that cover the island. I have yet to encounter a map that is easy to draw. They all present their own unique challenges. Many people don't realize that my maps are also hand lettered. There is no typesetting on the Barbados map.
I will be creating more island maps in the future, among them a map of Tobago, near Trinidad, in the Caribbean.
Speaking of islands, we are now into the 30-day countdown before we depart for the exotic South Sea island of Rarotonga. It's not too late to join us for the Painting in Paradise watercolor workshop. I'll be demonstrating how to paint tropical flowers, like hibiscus and bouganvilleas. If you have a look at the Painting in Paradise web site, you'll see why we call it Painting in Paradise. Rarotonga is spectacular. Check it out here: http://bronsmith.googlepages.com

PUT YOUR MEXICAN VILLAGE ON THE MAP!
This is my first cartoon map of a locale in Mexico. I've had numerous inquiries from Mexico, but none of them panned out until El Anclote came along. This one was a lot of work...many hours spent getting the details correct and authentic.
El Anclote is a small resort community located 28 miles northwest of Puerto Vallarta, on the Punta Mita Peninsula. It's a 45-minute drive from the airport in Puerto Vallarta. Popular with Americans and tourists in general, it boasts luxury real estate and resort accomodations. As you can see on the map, there's a row of great restaurants along the beach.
Because my map drawing schedule was so jammed, I turned down a tempting offer to come to El Anclote to research the project. This is one map trip that I wish I could have taken. I would have stayed in a 3,500 square foot luxury penthouse condo right on the beach in El Anclote while I was there. Bummer.
If you would like to talk to us about creating a cartoon map for your pueblo, village, resort, small town, large city, or small country, please contact us. We would love to work with you.
