From award-winning artist and author Christoph Niemann comes Sunday Sketching, a collection of witty illustrations and whimsical views on working creatively.

Taking its cue from his New York Times column Abstract Sunday, this book covers Niemann’s entire career and showcases brilliant observations of contemporary life through sketches, travel journals, and popular newspaper features. The narrative guides readers through Niemann’s creative process, how he built his career, and how he overcomes the internal and external obstacles that creative people face—all presented with disarming wit and intellect.

Enhanced with nearly 350 original images, this book is a tremendous inspirational and aspirational resource.

I was under the impression that I was purchasing a new book but when it was delivered the cover was so dirty it was hard to believe that was the case. It’s not easy to find this book so I plan to keep my copy but I’m glad I didn’t get one as a gift for someone else (as I once planned to do) because I wouldn’t feel great about gifting something in this condition.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun book to flip through over and over again.
Reviewed in the United States on July 24, 2018

Really nicely designed book that is easy to flip through in a sitting or two. It's kind of like a picture book for adults, full of little puns and creative sketches, done as a simple biography of Niemann's life. I found this illustrator from the Netflix series "Abstract" which prompted me to buy the book. While a lot of the illustrations were seen in the Netflix show, there were enough I hadnt seen to keep my interest.

I would really like a complete collection of his New Yorker covers. I watched a short documentary of his work. It reminded me of 901, the documentary about the closing of the Eames’ studio when Ray died. Their life and work has always inspired me greatly.

Let Christoph Niemann redefine the way you look at the world. In his magic hands, a fork becomes a giraffe, a comb is transformed into a Rolls Royce, and an ordinary eye dropper metamorphoses into a toucan.

This is a wonderful book -- part design exploration and part memoir. You'll find great pleasure in wallowing among its pages, admiring its clever design products and sincere (continuously yearning) process. I bought it as a gift for a design student, but, as it turned out, she got it slightly used. She loves the book!

4.0 out of 5 stars Awesome book, but arrived damaged-twice.
Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2017

This book is wonderful and a great original collection from an awesome artist. Ordered directly through Amazon. Unfortunately when it arrived, the mostly white cover was stained and dirty and the binding was damaged and bent to the point it would not close. Returned it hoping for a replacement in better condition. Second copy arrived last week- the same. Will be returning again and looking to purchase elsewhere. Not sure why they do not shrink wrap this lovely art book to ensure it doesn't get damaged in the mail. Great artist and book though, highly recommend anything by him!

Christoph Niemann is pure genius. The illustrations are awesome, but so is the storytelling! A great book for anyone engaged in the creative process. Purchased this book after watching the documentary about him on Amazon, which is also fantastic.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 19, 2020

This is quite a remarkable book. Niemann mixes art, illustration and photography to pull together and engage our mind.

I anticipated good artwork and whimsy, which this book is full of, but in addition to that there are words of wisdom and life choices presented from an artist's point of view.

This is truly excellent on many levels and the text is as interesting as the artwork.

Superb.
