Imaginary Travel Poster



 Madda
            In the late 1800s, an amateur bike maker named Victor Madda went for a test run with one of his two-wheeled, self-propelled vehicles he’d been working on for a few months.  As he rode down a dirt country rode, his wheel hit a large stone and he flew forward toward a large, ancient oak tree.  Instead of a collision, he found himself in this surreal, alternate universe full of plants and animals with unnatural colors and patterns.  The most dominant and unusual feature of the world was the mountains of bike parts randomly placed among the trees.  Since bike making was Victor’s only skill, he used his knowledge to build a house, well, transportation, and other mundane tools.  Overtime, more people came across the rift in the old oak tree and were transported to Madda, where a civilization dependant on bike technology was formed.  Bike makers became the kings of the land and were highly admired and revered.  However, Victor stayed in seclusion in his mountaintop laboratory with his family.
            The world is bathed in rich, deep colors.  There are two moons, which look like bike wheels due to the spoke-like ridges.  The capital city was founded where the rift opens up, which is in the valley of steep, rocky mountains the color of deep lavender.  Victor lives on top of one of those mountains, overlooking the city but far enough away to not be disturbed.  Bike makers adopted the style of dress of scientists.  People from Earth, after discovering the rift, travel to Madda to witness the spectacular bike architecture and surreal landscapes.
