I've lived in four out of five of NYC's boroughs, and even though two were as a child when I had no say in the matter, I always thought this a fairly rare achievement. But in terms of New York coverage, here's a far better achievement (in progress): Australian illustrator James Gulliver Hancock, now Brooklyn-based, wants to singlehandedly draw "All the Buildings in New York."

Hancock is selling off prints of his drawings, which we hope meets with rent-paying success -- that would be a killer way to make a living! But his motivations are not purely financial, as he explains in this video:

For a more nuanced understanding of this illustrator, we must turn to Core77's own Glen Jackson Taylor, who is also Australian and therefore must know Hancock.

Glen, what's he like? Cool guy?
