"James Gulliver Hancock is one of those people who set impossible tasks for themselves that evolve into blogs and then into books. For Mr. Hancock, a 35-year-old Australian artist and illustrator, the task has been to draw every building in New York. He started in April 2010, while living in Brooklyn. Now back home in Sydney with his wife and year-old son, he returns to the scene of his ambition from time to time and otherwise works from photographs and Google Maps. The drawings are posted on his Web site, allthebuildingsinnewyork.com, where they often inspire commissions, leading Mr. Hancock’s pen on an erratic course from Staten Island to the Bronx and from squat warehouses to soaring landmarks."
