Another very interesting and well crafted map, Thom. As a fellow fan of J.Edward's work, I can see his influence on this map, but I can also see that you're developing and exploring a new style that's all yours, too, and that's always a great thing to see. I like the cartoon-ish aspect of this map a lot.

I think that, while this style is very illustrative and evocative, it does sacrifice clarity a bit, especially with labels and landmarks. Clever use of colour, in my opinion, might be a very effective way to combat the clarity issue.
