Around the World in 80 Days

Illustrator Lehel Kovacs loved Jules Verne’s Around the World in Eighty Days as a boy, a book where the protagonist, Phileas Fogg, makes a ‎£20,000 bet that he could travel around the world in 80 days – from London to New York, across the US, then Asia and back. Now as an adult, whose work has appeared in publications like the Guardian and the New York Times, Kovacs has used Google Street View to create a modern twist on the book, with great results. Some of our favourites:

Now Kovacs wants to make his illustrations into postcards. You can fund his Kickstarter here.
