James Gulliver Hancock has been an art devotee since his preschool days, when he daydreamed of complex images and freely drew to his heart’s content. Since then, he’s carried the personal declaration that he “feels horrible when he’s not drawing.”

Hancock’s been filling the world with his illustrations ever since, creating commissioned works for a bevy of impressive publications. His attention to detail and love for New York City has inspired his quest to draw every building in New York. His whimsical perceptions aren’t limited to paper, as they run rampant in his twitter feed. Follow along for a steady stream of interesting works, ideas, events and friendly banter.
