Need an illustrator to design an artistic map of my local area

# Custom Illustrated Treasure Map for Disney Vacation Rental I'm looking for a talented **illustrator** (not just a graphic designer) to create a **custom, hand-drawn illustrated map** for guests staying at my Disney-area vacation rental. The style should feel **fun, whimsical, and nostalgic**—similar to the cartoon maps you would receive at Disney parks as a child or a classic treasure map. I want it to be colorful, inviting, and easy to read while serving as both a decorative piece and a helpful guide for guests. ## The Concept The map should feature my vacation rental as the focal point with a large **"You Are Here"** marker (such as a large red X or treasure-style marker). From there, illustrate the surrounding area with nearby restaurants, shopping, and attractions that guests commonly visit. Rather than being geographically exact, I'd like the map to simplify the area in a charming, cartoon style that makes it easy for guests to understand what's nearby. ## Nearby Locations to Include Some examples include: * Steak 'n Shake * McDonald's * Carrabba's Italian Grill * Texas Roadhouse * Medieval Times * Walmart * Target * Grocery stores * Pharmacies * Gas stations * Other popular restaurants and conveniences in the area I'm open to additional suggestions for other nearby locations that would be useful for guests. ## Style I'm looking for a map that has: * A hand-drawn, cartoon illustration style * A treasure map-inspired design * A magical, Disney-inspired sense of fun and adventure * Bright, inviting colors * Playful landmarks, roads, trees, lakes, and icons * Clear, easy-to-read labels I would also like the map to include a few **Disney-inspired characters or playful references** that capture the excitement and magic of a Disney vacation. These should be **original illustrations inspired by that style**, not copies of Disney's copyrighted characters or artwork. ## Final Deliverables The finished artwork will be professionally printed, framed, and displayed inside the vacation rental as both décor and a guest reference. I'm thinking of a finished framed size around **16" × 24"**, but I'm open to the illustrator's recommendation if another size would work better. I don't want it to feel too large and overwhelming, but I also don't want it so small that guests have trouble reading the details. Readability and visual appeal are both important. Please provide: * High-resolution artwork suitable for large-format printing * Editable source files if possible * Vector artwork (AI, SVG, or EPS) is preferred so it can be resized without losing quality The finished piece should feel like something guests naturally walk over to, admire, and use to discover nearby restaurants, shopping, and attractions during their stay. My goal is for it to become a unique welcome piece that enhances the overall guest experience while helping visitors quickly get familiar with the area.
