Christoph Niemann is an illustrator, graphic designer and has authored several books. While his work continually appears in impressive publications, you may know him best from his inventive and whimsical column, Abstract Sunday, for the New York Times.

What’s so great about Christoph is the intelligence and inventiveness that seeps from his work, easily pushing the boundaries of what’s considered art. He’s eager to share life’s lessons, making his twitter feed such an interesting read. Of course, you get the bon mots for which twitter is the perfect medium, but you can also stay abreast of all the  venues in which his work and words appear as Christoph travels the world.
