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.

  7. I was curious if you ever considered changing the
    structure of your website? Its very well written; I love what youve got to say.
    But maybe you could a little more in the way of
    content so people could connect with it better.
    Youve got an awful lot of text for only having one or two pictures.
    Maybe you could space it out better?

  9. After I originally left a comment I seem to have clicked the -Notify me when new comments are added- checkbox and now whenever a
    comment is added I get four emails with the same comment.

    There has to be a way you can remove me from that service?
    Cheers!
