Jun/July/Aug '22 Lite Challenge: Crabtown
I loved this challenge last time and an idea immediately popped into my head, so here we go! This entry isn't eligible to win, it's just here for fun.

I immediately knew I wanted a crab superimposed over downtown Baltimore. As I was drawing the map (I let Photoshop do the heavy lifting with straight lines), I started thinking about The Wire and so I decided it would be fun to have Stringer Bell write cartography books about Baltimore. This isn't done yet; I actually did a practice merged layer to check on opacity and fill. Still lots to do. (This isn't an eligible entry, just doing it for fun.)

LOL at the reviews. I like it, I would pick this book up from this cover.

Glad you liked the reviews, I wasn't sure if I'd just be amusing myself. XDOriginally Posted by Tiana

Haha, fun reviews and a sleek design!
Pardon me while I clean up the coffee mess....
Okay, I got a good chuckle out of those reviews. Nice work.

Thanks, all, I'm so glad the reviews are a hit outside of the Baltimore/DC area. =D I'm back from a few days away so will get to adding street names soon. (Sorry for the mess, Greason Wolfe!)
Added some text...still more to do. (Entry is for fun only, not eligible for voting.)
