Jake Daniels-Shipsmith had spent an impressive seven years creating a one-of-a-kind map of a fantasy city. At just 14 years old, he had poured his heart and soul into this project, even going so far as to write travel guides and history books for the different areas within the city. It was a labor of love that he started at the young age of seven and had finally completed on a Sunday.
The map itself was a masterpiece, made up of nine pieces of A3 paper, each meticulously drawn to form an imaginary city called Ty-taniam. Jake was passionate about history and geography, and this project was a perfect outlet for his interests. As he grew older, he had put the project on hold, but this past weekend, he decided to put the finishing touches on it.
When asked about why he started this project, Jake couldn't quite remember the exact reason. But he did recall enjoying working on it in his free time before heading off to school in the mornings. And now, after all these years, it brought him great happiness to see the map finally completed, measuring an impressive three meters by one meter.
Along with the map, Jake had also written travel guides and history books for the various areas within Ty-taniam. And to mark the completion of his epic project, he even created a Certificate of Completion for himself. As Jake explained, there were several parts of the city that were dedicated to significant events that had happened while he was working on the map. For example, the Jubilee Inn was named after Queen Elizabeth II's Platinum Jubilee, and there was also a Charles III park after his coronation as king.
Some of Jake's favorite areas of the city included the Tudor center of Chattemdown and the water-side town of Shipton. He took great pride in drawing separate images of the houses in these areas, showcasing his attention to detail. And although the city was mostly imaginary, Jake also added some modern elements, such as a tall tower and an RAF center in the town of Ridley.
Jake's parents, Jonathan Shipsmith and James Daniels, were also involved in the project, contributing a rowing lake, a harbor, and some beach details. His twin sister Leonie and some of his primary school classmates also added their own touches to the map. But as Jake's parents proudly stated, 99.9% of the map was done by Jake himself, a true testament to his creativity and imagination.
In the end, Jake's seven-year journey had resulted in an extraordinary map that showcased his love for history, geography, and imagination. It was a project that he will surely look back on with pride and a sense of accomplishment. And who knows, perhaps this is just the beginning of many more impressive creations from this young and talented 14-year-old.
