What an interesting brew - a Budapest based illustrator, a classic novel, and the modern medium of the Google map.

 Lehel Kovacs has taken inspiration from Jules Verne’s novel ‘Around the World in Eighty Days' by drawing each place Phileas Fogg visited. He used the Street View provided through Google maps to capture what these locations look like today.

I like Kovacs' style of illustration too. It is sketchy and fluid, with minimal line, colour and a little texture. The buildings gaze down in a 3d fashion and people go about their everyday life obliviously caught in a ever evolving story.
