A map of heaven, could it be Randwick Racecourse?

Posted by John Lampard on Monday, 9 June, 2008 to the design and art subset

It looks a little on the small side to be heaven, but on the other hand assumes approximately the same dimensions as Royal Randwick Racecourse.

“Heaven is a place,” sang the Talking Heads, “where nothing ever happens.” Not so in this version of the Afterlife. This is what Heaven might have looked like in the Divina Commedia had Dante not been a medieval Italian intellectual, but a contemporary Californian comic artist, like Malachi Ward, who drew this map. In Ward’s vision, Heaven is a place very similar to your local amusement park. Only better: it never closes, you don’t ever have to leave!
