Meet Christoph Niemann--the quintessential idea animator

When I was a kid, my father had a subscription to the New Yorker. I would always study the covers and remember thinking how amateurish the illustrations were. My young eyes did not appreciate the insight and restraint it takes to create great illustrations (I even wrote to them offering my services but never heard back).

Christoph Niemann understands whatever it is that equips you to see the world as a series of little stories. He is the quintessential idea animator.
