Australian-born Brooklynite and illustrator James Gulliver Hancock has an amazing project titled All of the Buildings in New York in which he is attempting to draw all of the City's buildings.
Since starting the project about 5 years ago, his work has amassed thousands of followers on his blog, created neighborhood and building prints, and even written a few books.
A charmingly illustrated journey through New York City, neighborhood by neighborhood. All the Buildings in New York is a love letter to New York City, told through James Gulliver Hancock’s unique and charming drawings of the city’s diverse architectural styles and cityscape. His buildings are colorful and chock full of fun and offbeat details, and this book is full of new discoveries as well as old chestnuts for anyone who loves the Big Apple. Organized by neighborhoods, the book features iconic New York buildings, such as the Empire State Building, Rockefeller Center, and Flatiron Building, as well as the everyday buildings that make up New York City—the boutique shops in SoHo, timeless brownstones in Brooklyn, and rows of busy markets in Chinatown. New Yorkers and tourists alike will savor this one-of-a-kind volume that uniquely celebrates the energy and spirit of the city that never sleeps.
All the Buildings in New York: That I've Drawn So Far is available for purchase on Amazon.
