Working at a company that makes and sells stock photos can seem obscenely boring at times, but when your manager gives you free reins to draw whatever you want about your favourite countries around the world, epic stuff happens.

The team at StockUnlimited recently had a little time on their hands and decided to challenge the stereotype of standard stock illustrations, by raising the bar once and for all with their rendition of famous landmarks around the world.

The end result? Pictures so beautiful you'll be throwing your wallet at your screen to get a copy. Then maybe you could use it as your iPhone background and tell your friends how it's your "daily inspiration to travel more". (Cause that's what I did!)
