oh but Brezhnevsk made me laugh! Another brilliant original and wonderfully map from you, adore it.

also? if you haven't read George R.R. Martin's excellent anthology "Old Venus" you should, if this map is anything to go by, it is right up your alley.Β 

Thank you for alway going above and beyond in terms of execution and originality

Thank you for the kind words! I thought Brezhnevsk would be a funny addition as well as "The Sea of Brezhnev"
I'll definitely look into the book, sounds interesting!

...LOVE your work -it is always so inspired and spot on
