travel illustration aynaku

While I spent more than a bright day on board a ship, yet I am clear about that the day I spent on the bus to Tozeur, has been the brightest! The road from Tunis to the desert city of Tozeur snakes along the Algerian border and the great dried-up salt-water lake -in the Tunisian Sahara Desert- called Chott el Jerid. Usually the bus stops for a while close to the lake banks: more people and their stuff are loaded before the bus leaves again. Here the lake surface reflection combines with the intense daylight so powerfully that once almost goes blind! Yet the landscape is absolutely grand and worth the visit and everything looks clear and sharp…

Trying to imagine how breathtaking this scene must be in person. Wish I could see a larger version of your illustration. Excellent job on that bus!!

Beautiful subdued colour and it really makes the beauty of the bus pop!

Wow…I’m continually impressed by the cleanness and precision in your work. You must spend a lot of time on each piece. I’ve also wondered where you’re from. I may have asked before, but I don’t remember.

Gorgeous. I love how bold the bus is - those wheels are just awesome. The way you did the reflection in the lake is sublime.

The bus is really eye-catching. It stands out from the background like the boat in the link for Chatt el Jarid (I got lost in the beautiful pictures there:) It looks hot hot hot… and the salt! It is easy to understand your feeling like you could go blind. We have salt mines here, it’s kept in the dark where it won’t put your eyes out:)))
