Alison Murray Whittington, Chief Mapmaker, the Interimaginational Institute for Fantastical Exploration & Cartography

IIFEC NEWS: Your chief mapmaker is a mother on an incredible journey with two wee pirate-explorer-adventurers! I make every effort to acknowledge orders by Etsy conversation within 24 hours and ship in 3 business days, but there may be a delay of 1-2 additional business days before I can acknowledge and ship orders. Thank you for your understanding!

Thank you so much, Etsy, for making me a featured seller: http://www.etsy.com/featured_seller.php?featured_user_id=46726

I, Alison Whittington, am an artist and storyteller now living in Maine, originally from the west coast - California and Nevada. I spent many years in Virginia, and count Philadelphia as my second home. I've lived in 3 countries, 4 states, 13 cities, and 25 dwellings. I am crazy about vivid colors, incredible adventures, intriguing stories and magical settings.

I'm not an expert on ships, or even maps, I just play one on Etsy. One of my many dreams is to build my own sailboat or ship and sail around the world. I don't know how to sail yet, but I'll learn. For the short-term, I am an armchair sailor.

You may post my maps and illustrations on your blog for editorial purposes, provided you clearly state my name, Alison Murray Whittington, include a link to my Etsy shop in the text or image, and do not alter the images. I'd be grateful if you let me know about the post, too (by Etsy convo or email at paintandink [!at] gmail.com). You may not use my images for any other purposes; I retain all copyrights.

Please note that I have not listed all of the original paintings corresponding to my prints. If you see a print you love and wish to know if the original painting is still available, please do inquire.
