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.
