Christopher Niemann: I Lego NY


Further to last month’s post on the Lego wall, I love how these little Lego pieces remind me of how iconic objects can be recognised merely by their colour and shape, despite their simple form. How cute are these?

After moving to Berlin after a lengthy stretch of living in NY, author/illustrator Christopher Niemann was struck by how his sons’ Lego pieces started to remind him of things he missed.

    Men, what would you do if your father in law threatened to hit your wife in front of you?

    I would pull him aside and tell him that under no circumstances is he to ever speak to
    my wife like that again. Then I would in private ask my wife if her father was abusive to her.
    If he was I would tell her to cut ties with him him until he straightens his act out.
    I would not let my wife have any… show more Call

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters! Whilst the debut t-shirt illustrations by Dave are inspired by cult and classic movie characters, the team plan to increase the range to feature other pop culture icons as they grow and expand.
