Chances are if you like to travel, you also like to eat. The combination goes hand-in-hand so seamlessly that to have one without the over feels sacrilegious.

The relationship between food and drink and a city or region isn't just superficial. Sometimes those edible items come to define a place just as much as the people do. In the illustrations of Andrew Nye, the idea of that symbiosis is played out literally and beautifully.

In a series combining food and cities, Nye weaves in iconic landmarks, transforming them into the foods they've come to represent.

Correction: food and drink...

The edible works build on Nye's portfolio of travel and commerce themed Vector graphics which also creatively weave in themes via a surrealist bend.

"Vector graphics are computer graphics images that are defined in terms of points on a Cartesian plane, which are connected by lines and curves to form polygons and other shapes."

Be careful though, with recreational travel slowed to a halt because of COVID-19, Nye's illustrations might make you extra thirsty.

So in the meantime, you can just fix yourself some tea, relax, and wait for the world to open up again.
