Roadmap

2003

A colorful and detailed illustration resembling a historical map, featuring a variety of whimsical and fantastical elements. The sea is depicted in shades of blue with waves, around which are scattered islands and landmasses in orange and green hues. The map is populated with a mix of real and imaginary creatures, people, and objects, including airplanes, ships, and submarines. Notable are two large, stylized character heads at the bottom corners—one appears to be a woman with a headdress, and the other a skull with a ship and structures on top. The map includes text banners, one of which reads "ROALD DAHL" and another with a quote. The artwork has a playful and surreal quality, blending elements of adventure, history, and fantasy.
