30 Pics Of Iconic Landmarks’ Illustrations Side By Side With Their Real-World Matches
Are you ready to join us on an adventure? Let's buckle up and transport ourselves to some of the most incredible locations around the world with Maxwell Tilse and his series of illustrations featuring famous landmarks. While Tilse has shared some of his previous work on Bored Panda, this time we've curated the best examples of his miniature drawings, photographed against their real-world twins as a backdrop.
We contacted Max and asked him some questions about his series of small cut-out illustrations showcasing the famous landmarks. The artist shared with us more about the inspiration behind this project: “I was inspired by the childlike collector inside of me. It’s a real joy arriving in a new destination and finding a little corner, famous or otherwise, to sit and sketch. These little landmarks are fairly quick and easy to create, so if I’ve only got a day or three to create a piece, drawing to this small scale is ideal.”
He also added: “The photograph I take with the drawing on location is as much of a souvenir as the artwork itself.”
