We get BIG paper on Sunday that lasts the whole week! Amidst the serious news there is always an artist that brings hope via another perspective, a new way of combining media or simply a view of beauty. Cristoph Niemann is a german designer whose work I first saw in a documentary series called Abstract (on netflicks) He draws with the wit of a cartoonist and the eye of a designer. Last week's magazine March 29, has a great article that maps out his visit to the Balkans (before the shutdown). He superimposes his drawings on photographs of the places he visits.
So here's the idea. Can we use this piece as an inspiration to have fun with magazine images? Grab them before they are recycled. Find some photographs to draw into. I recommend a black marker or felt tip pen but you could try others. (pencils won't work on the slippery paper) Have fun!
