INTRODUCTION
THE HUMAN RACE
IS SURROUNDED BY
STUFF
I love visiting a new friend’s
house and discovering that
he collects antique squeezeboxes, or that the
bracelet she wears is made from her great aunt’s
hair. It’s beautiful that we are like little planets
pulling detritus into orbit around us. We all know
it’s hard to get rid of things from our lives, and
hoarding looms just around the corner. But there
are some items you would never think to part
with; they are linked to us through events in our
lives or they just fit perfectly.
People seem to relax when they are around their
things. It is how they define themselves and
make their living situation “home.” These
things are extensions of us, props
that we gather to help project an
identity and help us interact
with the world. We can learn a
lot about a person from looking at
what they choose to surround themselves
with. In his book Blink, Malcolm Gladwell notes
that students are far more successful at assessing
someone’s personality from a glance at their dorm
room possessions than spending time with the
actual person.
I have always been intrigued by people’s relation-
ship to objects. Having traveled extensively, I’ve
witnessed the waxing and
waning of my possessions with
different locations. There are
things that have stuck with me out of necessity
and things that I hold on to for no reason other
than I like having them around. I love both the
feeling of freedom that carrying only a suitcase
can bring and the strong sense of security that
keeping a collection of personal trinkets provides.
Sometimes stuff feels like a burden and other
times it seems to connect us more strongly to our
world. I’ve become hyper-aware that I hold onto
certain things, that they are mine,
and that they are important. My father
worked in estates of the deceased and
the collections of each life’s worth of
“stuff” was always a fascinating sum-
mary of that person.
Like possessions, small quirks reflect
a person’s identity; their clothes,
their favorite food, the house they
grew up in, the people they know.
I’m a visual communicator and
I always found it interesting that
people have these props that
become extensions of who
they are. When I think of Che
Guevara I think of his beret;
 when I think of Grace Kelly I think
of that classic scarf; when I think of
Elvis I think of that super sandwich.
They are physical objects that provide
visual clues about who a person is
or has decided to be. They may seem
to be on the surface, decoration on the
façade, but the fact that these particular
bits and pieces become easily associated
with and connected to these particular
people says something about who
they are.
This project started when I was living
in New York. I was drawing buildings
for my blog allthebuildingsinnewyork. CHEESECAKE
com and started to think about the people
who were inside those buildings. As a newcomer
to the city from Australia, I was amazed at how
many characters you would see walk by on a daily
basis and I would wonder which building was
theirs. Everyone seemed to have their own style
or quirk. Who are they? What stuff do they use?
How do they get around? What do they eat? What
are their routines? What makes each one different
from the next person on the street? It was these
potentially infinite characters with their infinite
quirks that I loved and wanted to explore. Initially
not having too many friends in New
York I started to make them up, to
invent characters and draw them:
office workers who loved bees,
tugboat drivers who collected
toy trains and caught the A train
to work. Somehow it helped me
organize the chaos of a huge society
of individuals.
Over time I started applying this style of draw-
ing to people I knew and capturing their visual
summaries (you can see mine at the end of
the book). And later I became intrigued by
searching out these same kinds of objects
and icons for the great figures of history.
It’s a voyeuristic attempt to delve deeper
into people I have no primary access to, an
obsessive sorting of the human experience.
The people in this book are all extraordinary in
some way and have inspired me because of the
lives they’ve lived. By reducing them to these
basic equations of ordinary life it’s fascinating to
see how much their everyday choices make them
more human. How some of their habits and ritu-
als are within basic human need; what they like
to eat, where they were born, even the stories of
their unusual deaths or marriages can make them
seem normal in this context. Obviously not
everyone has a 10-carat engagement
ring like Grace Kelly, but most people
do love a slice of cheesecake now and
then. Collecting people’s detritus at
once makes them extraordinary and
human at the same time.
This book is a visual encyclopedia, allowing
glimpses into iconic figures’ personalities.
These props and events tell a part of
the story of who they are in a way that
is sometimes clearer and more
revealing than words. These
are not meant to encompass
their entire lifetime of achieve-
ments but they do reflect
the one solid identity of each
person built up over years of
their life. They are refined here
to their favorite things, shuffling around them, and
we are left wondering why the universe gave those
particular things to them.
So I invite you to explore these people in this
visual summary. I guarantee you will learn some-
thing about people you thought you knew, and
hopefully gain an insight into the quirky nature
of the human experience.

Thanks to my family, Lenka Kripac and Quinn Gulliver Hancock,
for their patience with the hours and hours I put in at the studio
to finish this project; to all those people who brilliantly helped
me research and check the facts: Sarah Winshall, Christopher
Thomas, Anton Gill, Susan Dietrich, Frances Haggett, Mollie
Hancock, and Alicia Desantis; and also to the amazing team
at Chronicle Books: Bridget Watson Payne, Caitlin Kirkpatrick,
Kristen Hewitt, Erin Thacker, Lia Brown, Becca Boe, Peter Perez,
and Diane Levinson.

GULLIVER
HANCOCK
JAMES GULLIVER HANCOCK is obsessed with recording
his environment. He feels nervous when he's not with pencil in
hand, drawing his surroundings. A prolific maker and illustrator,
his work is consistently utilized in big and small international
projects for clients ranging from Coca-Cola to Herman Miller.
Originally from Australia, he now considers himself relatively
homeless, with New York being his "Central Station" of the
world. For more, see www.jamesgulliverhancock.com.
