Did you move Staten Island on purpose or is that just some artistic license?

Hey man, there is nothing wrong with doing an abstract map of New York.....oop....did I just say that?

Okay - I moved Staten Island back to it's home, beside Bayonne.
* Adjusted view (again)
* Added textures & grunge
* Redrew piers
* Started labeling and thinking about bridges to include
(forgot to remove that dotted line along Queens border - but I am going to eventually add blocky patterns to parts of the map)
Now I need to soon start to fill some negative space. I'm thinking the title and directional compass in the upper right, and a large graphic in the lower left. possibly something in the lower right as well - not sure yet. Need to see how to balance this thing.
well i think I'm migrating away from rap - and towards just an artistic rendering. I don't know how I'm going to incorporate rap into this map. But whatever comes of it, so be it. I've rotateted the map so north is now up - i was getting too much flack for it being rotated sideways
I thought that you were just going to draw a cool looking map and label the important locations. Clubs, places where ground breaking videos were shot, rap artists nieghborhoods, recording studios, record stores, movie locations etc.
Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go..
Yes Aval - I am/will do that. I just need to focus and do my homework and I can get this done.
Well.. Nice colour palette anyway
Well I finally got my research done, thanks to the cool homies over at oldschoolhiphop.com - Now I have to apply it somehow. Fun stuff starts now. I plan to have a bit of text and artwork around the big empty Queens / Brooklyn area, and the title will be top left (NJ area). Map size is double this - just reduced by 2 for the forums.
