James Hancock's obsession with drawing everything in the world at least once is what has made him famous. It has brought him to do many major prints for example: TV and music publishing releases. He also done many projects in various countries around the world; the USA, the UK, Australia, Germany, Indonesia, France and Austria.
When he was in kindergarten in Sydney, Australia, his obessive behaviour was clearly shown when he painted the most complicated picture he could think of, and wouldn't move onto the next activity. This was because instead, he decided to draw an extremely detailed drawing of a city of houses.
During his time at school, he discovered technical drawing. The tool he most enjoyed using for his drawings was the mechanical pencil. This is due to the fact that the size of the lead could change from .25, .5 and .3 thickness. When he realised that he could perfectly visualize 3D images in his head, it drove him to continue drawing them and exploring different ways to draw things. Over the years his work has developed to having philosophical and conceptual meaning.
After his graduation with the University Medal and Honurs, he begun a gallery in Sydney with three of his friends. The gallery was called SPACE3 where local artists placed their work to exhibit.
