[Moo] cartographic artist needed

[Cyberhaaz at aol.com]

Hi, all, I have a great opportunity for someone with the time and talent to  
do it.

The artist who was doing the map for my current fantasy novel produced  such 
an awful product I just told my editor I'd rather do it  myself.  I don't even 
know how to describe what was wrong with  it, it was so hideously bad.  If 
you imagined a cartographer who had lived  a life of such debauchery and 
violence that he was condemned  to eternal suffering for it, this map would be 
hanging on the  wall of hell when he got there. 
 
I am not good at drawing such things myself, which is why we hired it  out in 
the first place. So my statement of "I'd rather do it myself" was kind  of, 
well, a bluff ;).  I did ask if I could ask around for some  local artist who 
could handle the job, where I could have input as it  went along, and my editor 
said sure.   So....what I need is  someone capable of drawing a BW map of the 
sort that usually shows up in  fantasy novels, actually a relatively simple 
one, in a kinda period  style.  If you don't want to do the labelling, the art 
department will  drop words in for me afterwards.  Pay is a couple of hundred 
dollars,  plus of course credit for it in a best selling novel :-) Not to 
mention my  eternal gratitude.
 
The one catch is, it has to be done soon. Probably this week.   

Someone who has actually drawn period  maps, or bits of maps,  preferred, but 
I'm open to those who haven't.    
 
If you want to see what this usually entails, the site 
_www.fantasy-atlas.org_ (http://www.fantasy-atlas.org)  has just about  every fantasy map known to 
makind.
