I have the Chaosium published map of the Dreamlands, illustrated by Andy Hopp, hanging on my office wall. I have had it for well over a decade. I love that map, and it would be hard to estimate how many hours I have spent pouring over all of its intricate details. If you were to have asked me if another Dreamlands map was needed my answer would have been, "no!" Then I ran across Jason Thompson's map, and I was floored. I am still trying to soak in all the details Jason has added to his map. It is quite striking, and I fully intend to buy a print if he ever offers them for sale.
While we are on the subject, Jason is in the process of taking his previously published The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath comic, and updating it as a graphic novel. The project has a Kickstarter fund drive that has already reached its goal, which is exciting news. I have read the original Dream-Quest comic, as well as his Clark Ashton Smith tribute, Hyperborea. Excellent stuff. And judging by Jason's most recent work, it looks like this new graphic novel is going to be topnotch.

Oh yeah! I'd be in line to buy a poster of that!
one word....SWEET!!!!
Very nice! Good to see Jason Thompson still at it.
About 5 years ago I got a copy of the animated DQoUK made from Jasons comic. Well, "animated" is not quite accurate. It's animated like a Reading Rainbow story using mostly static images and voice actors. But still I think it is quite unique and I love it as much for its limitations as well as it's creativity.
Looks like they are still selling it here.
What an awesome map of the Dreamlands. I've always thought the Chaosium map tended to be a little sparse on the details, though it was nicely illustrated.
Wow, thanks so much for sharing this map! It's beautiful.
And I had no idea that there were Dream-Quest and Hyperborea comics. Brilliant! :D
