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.

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:
