I’m a graphic artist living in Aarhus, Denmark and I work under the name DAU-DAW. I grew up in the countryside where I developed a great love for both nature and animals – all of which are reflected in my work below. I spend between a few days and several weeks creating each of these little worlds.
The “maps” are all divided into different countries and every mountain, every lake, every city and every ocean in these pieces are named after everything relevant to the title of each piece. Take for example Felidae – Land of the Lion. Everything in this “map” is named after both fictional and actual lion species that are either extinct or still around today.
No actual geographical locations are presented in any of these pieces. Everything has been drawn from scratch by me using mostly Illustrator. I hope you like it!

These are f*****g fantastic, if I may be so blunt. The shapes, the style, the details. Magnificent! Fortsett det gode arbeidet, hilsen Norge! :D

Do you take recommendations? If so, can you make a tiny tiny island for quokkas aka the most adorable and happiest animals on earth? Thank you if you can’t and don’t worry if not. :)

I like how the jaguar one was mostly water, so u can differentiate from the big cats
DAU-DAW (Post author) 5 years ago
Awesome :) Land of Big Cats is made in the image of the tiger. Both the jaguar and the tiger are great swimmers, so all the water represented in those maps are actually kinda fitting i think

Now you just need someone to write the fantasy novel that involves all of these lands!

Nice idea and great realization of it. I like the way you have put a lot of care into place names. Could this be used to make portraits of people too?

I expected it to be a map of animal habitats...I am kinda disappointed but also very much in awe.
