I love this representation of self 'Map of an Englishman' by Grayson Perry. Very intricate and in depth, I think I posted something called BrainLand in a previous post ages ago but this is detailed.
'His Map of An Englishman (2004) is a mock-Tudor etch of an imaginary island, not coincidentally resembling a brain, surrounded by Psychopath, Bipolar Disorder, Schizophrenia, Delirium and other unpleasantness at sea; divided into counties with alluring names such as Tender, Bitch, Romance, Cliché and Guru – Normal and Easy are pretty small areas, and Fear is a large, scary forest in the east.' http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2008/02/08/ They also remind me of these that I saw. How curious again, seen at strange maps, he released a book. Well worth a look.found: http://strangemaps.wordpress.com/2009/03/01/363-ego-cartography-the-island-of-philippe-gonzalvez/
