Illustrated Map Of Florida Illustrated Map Of Florida by Irish artist Carla Daly I am happily working my way through my next illustrated map of Florida. A really beautiful state known as The Sunshine State .  I am illustrating it with a light sea blue and yellow to represent the land. I have added fish that are found in the sea around the state and the counties and county seats with famous buildings, people and other Florida attractions. Illustrating a map takes me some time, I have to spend time investigating the counties that make up the state. Each county is illustrated with an object, person, building, animal or bird. I place the county names and county seat onto the map first. Then I go through each county and add and illustration that will depict the county. I license my kids wall map art to an online shop Maps.com, they are based in the United States. You can also purchase my kids wall maps on my online shop Gifts4Baby.ie At Gifts4Baby.ie  we se...

Photo taken by Timea (8) The samples have arrived of my large floor puzzle of the USA, produced and sold by Ravensburger. It is really lovely when you put it together, though it is for younger kids, my children of 8 and 6 are really having fun playing with it, also learning along the way!

Unfinished Kids Map Of Canada I am really enjoying illustrating this map, Canada is a place I have wanted to visit for a long time, I have also wanted to create an illustrated map of Canada, and here it is! Well the early stages of it. There are some countries that just have great visuals associated with them and Canada is one of them. Their map and map colours, their native animals, the nature & cities.  Again, I am putting in the states, cities, lakes, oceans and the animals that inhabit this wonderful country. Will post more finished images soon. I will be adding this to my kids map range - Here

Kids Map Of New York My New York map is finished, that took a while and a lot of work! What do you think?  My agent, Alicia Dauber of Licensing Liaison will be showing this map and my other work at Surtex, New York in May.

Here is a new image I am working on. Phew! This is taking a loooooong time to complete. Hopefully it will be available soon on my websites as a kids wall poster.  I will keep you posted when it is finished!
