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.

    Remember to use keywords which can be accurate and
    simple, which must do the trick. In many cases
    (especially instrumentals), it’s unaffected by language differences as well.
    Then again, it could provide you with the fuel for that perfect headlining scandal.

Captain Feline – Blending Pop Culture with Cats

felineship

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.
