Levi, my seven year-old, thinks this website is one of the coolest things his daddy has ever done. Maybe the coolest. He wants in the worst way to help out. If he were a few years older and as adept at web design as many of his eleven year-old peers, I’d be able to find plenty of ways for him to help out. Right now, though? It’s a little tougher.
One thing Levi loves to do is make maps. No one encouraged him to do this. He just started doing it one day, and now he draws five or six maps each week. Most of the maps are of cities or new countries he dreams up. They make me think of the maps that often appear in the front of Big, Fat, Fantasy Epics, or in novels of the New Weird.
Levi is keenly interested in coming up with ways to make money. So how about it, Jeff Vandermeer or China Mieville? How about hiring Levi to draw maps for your next Ambergris or Embassytown books?
By the way, when Levi heard I was going to post some of his maps on my site, he made me an ad to go with them:
