Christoph Niemann: Sunday Sketching

In the last few years, Christoph’s work has evolved from traditional editorial illustration into a mix of visual essays for the New York Times, animations for Google, a visual dictionary for children, smartphone apps and virtual reality covers for the New Yorker. He will talk about his new book, his process, the balance of self initiated and client work, his reluctance to collaborate, the struggle with social media and the stifling creative fears of not being good enough and running out of ideas.

After the event you are invited to join Christoph for a reception and book signing of copies of his Sunday Sketching and WORDS books in The Atrium.

Books will be available for purchase at the event.
