This poster (prints available on INPRNT here!) took me literally 8 years to complete 😮 it started in 2018 when I made five of them just for fun, but then life happened with ups and a lot very low downs. Finishing the entire serie of this silly little project, today, meant a lot to me❤️ Love, -TheMeeDes

Fallout - John Hancock A quick sunday-tele-side coloring of a Inktober 2022 piece. I hope all of you are doing great - despite war, daily politics and whatnot. We've got to appreciate the small things in lives. Life is nothing, but temporary. Do not spend it on 'brownie points' or pleasing someone. Just be you. Do you! Heck, I do not even know if someone reads my stupid posts, but... here... have a Hancock. EDIT 2023. I never realized Hancock has so many fans in Tumbr. I thought last time it was one (two off). He is a fun zombie-guy with interesting dresscode.

you know what? ... I'm 'bout to say something controversial....

Finn was kinda right.

Was Hancock just letting anybody in?? I mean... he let THEM into Goodneighbor!

WINLOCK AND BARNES!!

Aka: two Gunners that were looking for MacCready---something that Hancock had no reason to NOT be aware of. Even if he somehow didn't know Mac was a former gunner with a target on his head, why the hell would he let in two gunners?!

the answer is: It's Fallout, don't think about it

I love ya, John, but what the hell. You totally coulda cost Mac his head!

John Hancock

John Hancock (1737-1793) was a merchant, politician, and Founding Father of the United States, who helped lead the Patriot movement during the American Revolution (1765-1789). He served as president of the Second Continental Congress from 1775-1777, and as Governor of Massachusetts from 1780-1785 and again from 1787-1793. He is best remembered for his flamboyant signature on the Declaration of Independence.

Early Life

John Hancock was born on 23 January 1737 in Braintree, Massachusetts (modern-day Quincy). He was the second of three children born to Reverend John Hancock and Mary Hawke Hancock; he had an elder sister, Mary (b. 1735) and a younger brother, Ebenezer (b. 1741). John Hancock's childhood was a solitary one. His father was often preoccupied with the spiritual needs of the community while his mother preferred doting on his elder sister, leaving John to his own devices. He took to following around the older boys of Braintree, which included John Adams and Samuel Quincy; although the older lads tolerated Hancock's presence, they did not like the younger boy, whom Adams later described as possessing "a peevishness that sometimes disgusted and afflicted his friends" (Unger, 15).

In 1744, Reverend Hancock died after a brief illness at the age of 41. Faced with the impending horrors of poverty, Mary Hawke Hancock appealed to her late husband's brother, Thomas, for help. From humble beginnings as a bookseller's apprentice, Thomas Hancock had become one of the most successful merchants in Boston, having founded a world-famous firm called the House of Hancock. There was, however, a small problem threatening Thomas' commercial empire: he had no heir. He and his wife Lydia had been unable to have children. So, when his brother's widow reached out for help, Thomas decided to cut a deal. He agreed to financially support Mary and her children, on the condition that John be sent to live with him in Boston, to be groomed to one day inherit the Hancock family business.

Mary agreed, and John was sent to live in his uncle's lavish house atop Beacon Hill. The Hancock home was a three-story, Georgian-style mansion, made of square-cut granite blocks, with a superb view of Boston Harbor. The reverend's son would have marveled at the delicately imported mahogany furniture, beautiful oil paintings, and apricot trees imported from Spain. He was carefully tutored to fit the part of an elegant Boston gentleman, was taught etiquette and introduced to members of Boston's high society. He was dressed by his doting aunt in velvet breeches and silk coats, sparking a lifelong love affair with expensive clothing. In 1750, he was enrolled in Harvard at the age of 13, the second youngest in his class. During his college days, he regularly got into trouble; he drank frequently and, at one point, got the enslaved servant of the Harvard president dangerously drunk. Still, he managed to graduate in July 1754 (albeit without academic honors). Now 17, Hancock was tall, slender, and sophisticated, always dressed in the most fashionable clothes. It was time for him to learn the family business.
