Interesting post. Short time lurker, first time poster. :)
Quick question -- are these player or DM maps? If the latter, do they have a key you use when running, or are they just intended to be visual placeholders for a previous brainstorm.
Looking at them, I was thinking that I could run a freestyle game using one of these maps and just interpreting the imagery into D&D scenes.
They're DM maps (i keep unkeyed ones for the players that are just straight pics of the buildings)
They are mainly just early-stage maps for brainstorming but if I get caught short-handed in the sandbox I will sometimes grab one and run straight from these. I have a fairly clear idea of what each thing in each picture is supposed to be.

James describes it as "Zak's best work". Also as something that you, the
audience, should buy as soon as possible.
And here's why.

Out of game. Kind of.
I don't care about Fun. I'm not competing in the Funlympics because it's a
participation trophy and if your table isn't having Fun

I'm Zak, I live in Los Angeles. Most of the people I know here are women I know from being a porn "actor"--so they're porn stars and strippers. So that's who I play Dungeons & Dragons with.

Oh, so thaaaat is where the Crimson Manta has been hiding. Heh.
I like the way you arrange maps and floor plans with images. It is very evocative.
Damn it, now I have an overwhelming urge to incorporate a speed loop into the dungeon I'm working on...
I'm always glad to see your new posts even though I don't know what you're talking about half the time. I love your creativity!
@Zak. Where did you find the image for the third map? I dig the style.
@J Blanchard
the guy with the Land of Nod blog dug that up a while back--maybe he knows
Was wondering that myself. Here ya go:
