HAINSWORTH.COM reader John Buffone directs us to an award winning illustrator’s homage to NYC.
Christoph Niemann of the New York Times misses the big city. The illustrator spends a lot of Berlin’s cold dark winter days playing with his boys in their room. He says inevitably his mind wanders back to The City So Nice, They Named It Twice. Hence his obsession with turning Lego bricks into everyday buildings, objects and moments of NY life.

Stepping in it

Neimann’s work has won him awards from the American Institute of Graphic Arts, the Art Directors Club and American Illustration. According to The Times, he’s authored two children’s books, “The Pet Dragon,” which teaches Chinese characters to young readers, and “The Police Cloud.” After 11 years in New York, he moved to Berlin with his wife, Lisa, and their sons, Arthur, Gustav and Fritz.
