Buildings In New York City, Illustration By James Gulliver Hancock

His obsession with re-imaging his world has seen him work for major print, TV and music publishing releases. He has also participated in projects in the USA the UK, Indonesia, Austria, Germany, France and Australia, taking his whimsical perception around the world.
He grew up in Sydney, Australia, and in kindergarten remembers devising the most complex image he could think of… refusing to move on to the next activity after painting, instead detailing a complex drawing of a city of houses including every detail, every person, and every spider web between every house. He still has the drawing
In school he discovered technical drawing. He has always been obsessed with machines and the way things work and rendering the meeting of tiny screws in perfect perspective was a delight. His favourite tool was the mechanical pencil that could change between .25, .5 and .3 thickness lines. His ability to visualize 3d shapes and perspective in his head and draw them on paper drove him to continue to explore the medium. This is now married with a love of colour, paint, and controlled mess as well as connecting it to deeper conceptual and philosophical meaning.
