One new idea for every day in 2011. We’re talking big, small, local, international, in action and on the drawing board. Here’s today’s — what’s yours?
When James Gulliver Hancock moved to Brooklyn, he took on a rather time-consuming project — drawing every building in New York.
At first, he describes his effort as an experiment in record-keeping; he draws what he sees on a regular basis. But as he continues, he writes that the city’s growing on him: “we’re getting to know each other. Sometimes it still pops out and shows itself as a cliche, as all new, I’m amazed I’m in this, living daily … With this much density, it is sometimes overwhelming.”
The Australian illustrator’s a self-described anxious type who panics at the thought of not being able to draw everything in the world, at least once.
We’re thankful for you. Are you thankful for us?
We feel thankful for our staff and for the privilege of fulfilling our mission to be an unparalleled source of information and insight in Phoenix. We’re aiming to raise $30,000 by December 31, so we can continue covering what matters most to this community.
Help us continue giving back to Phoenix.
