All the buildings in New York

There's this Australian artist called James Gulliver Hancock who is currently based in Brooklyn, New York. He's on a quest to draw all the buildings in New York, and he puts his drawings up on a blog called "All the Buildings in New York": http://allthebuildingsinnewyork.blogspot.com. His work is really cool, and it seems like his project has been receiving a lot of attention lately.

On this blog I found some buildings that I really enjoyed when I was in New York a couple of years ago. (Of course there are heaps of others, like Rockefeller Centre, the The Museum Of Modern Art and the buildings that make up Times Square, but I don't want to go through all the posts to find these, if they were there at all.)

The Metropolitan Museum of Art.

The Guggenheim Museum.

The Chrysler Building.

The Empire State Building.

The New York Stock Exchange.

The above selection consists of major landmarks - not surprising that these kinds of buildings were the ones that stood out most for me during my 10 short days as a tourist in New York - but Hancock's drawings of regular New York buildings are really neat too, like these ones.

17 East 70th Street.
1 West Street.

142 West 4th Street.

313 20th Street.

I love New York. I miss New York. I hope to go back to New York one day.
