All the Buildings in New York - that I've drawn so far


All The Buildings In New York is a personal project of James Gulliver Hancock.
An illustrator from Australia now based between Sydney, and New York. This project stems from an interest in obsession and recording of places. New York holds a special place in everyone’s heart, romanticized from Sesame Street and old movies like Rear Window and Breakfast at Tiffany’s.

The book, based on his blog records his attempt to make the city personal by passing a pen over every structure, hopefully making up for the time he is not able to spend in New York.
I know how he feels; love that city.

I found a small pile of this very special book in the wonderful Village Bookshop at Matakana and after looking through it and waxing lyrical about it to anyone in the store who would listen I was later fortunate enough to be given a copy.

Now on checking out the author/illustrator's blog I see that the book has gained huge media attention- see below. I am not surprised, it is a little stunner which I am delighted to own.
561 – 563 Broadway, New York, NY
