Non Cartoon - Random Drawings from the Files

I have some deep files, and I've been going through boxes that were inaccessible for a few years, just come to light, so here are some drawings of the non-cartoon variety. I have an interest in the mechanics, or methods, of 'auto-generation' of symbols and language. I've played also with random letter generation, via matrix and diagrams. Also, I've always loved maps, and I was always making new maps of worlds and places to discover.

Map from an adventure story/ plot I was fooling around with in the late 1980s, or early 1990s.

Neat, really neat. C.M.Evans is about to compete with the likes of J.R.Tolkien and J.K.Rowling. Do it!!!

I've always loved making maps and diagrams. I'm starting to work on a story about a genie, and all the people he meets through the centuries, and what they wish for -- how he fulfills their wishes, and what happens to the people good and bad.

Oh man! Copyright it fast! My imagination is dwelling on that plot now!
