The NYC Architecture Series is an ongoing body of work capturing the buildings, storefronts and street-level moments that make the city what it is. Thirty five illustrations and counting - each one observed, considered and drawn with the kind of detail that only comes from actually being there. From Katz's Delicatessen to Levain Bakery, Dunkin' to Shake Shack - iconic addresses rendered in a visual language entirely our own.

This is New York seen through a Scottish eye. And it started on the same street corner where Kip Yard was born.

The full illustration series is available for licensing and creative partnership. For brands, retailers, hospitality groups and publishers who want something with genuine cultural authenticity rather than stock. Get in touch for the full deck.
