Christoph Niemann: how he does it (via Drawn!)

Everything Niemann does on this blog is a winner. Fantastic.

A reference to one of my favorite songs, and a brilliant use of captions.

I sit in front of a stack of letter size paper, and think until my head hurts. I do not produce sketches of even the slightest artistic value. Attached you’ll find a sketch from a couple of months back. I have no idea what it is, but I know that it was the sketch to an idea that eventually got published.

New York Cheat Sheets - by Christoph Niemann

My favorite breakfast spot in New York is a little coffee shop on Eighth Avenue between 13th and 14th Streets. It has a lemon poppy muffin that is absolutely divine when fresh — and tastes like drywall when not. The easiest way to test for freshness, of course, is to poke the crust, which would be wrong. Fortunately, you can ethically conduct the freshness test by poking the paper muffin cup at one specific point, at about two-thirds of the height of the base. Lower or higher poking doesn’t yield reliable results.
