📸 Every Sunday illustrator Christoph Niemann sits down to pull magic out of the mundane, then documents it @abstractsunday . I came across him watching Abstract, during which he prepares to submit his 20th cover for The New Yorker.

Abstract (a Netflix documentary series) sheds light on the creative process of people like graphic design legend Paula Scher, Nike shoe designer Tinker Hatfield and Es Devlin; a set designer who orchestrated the 2012 closing ceremony and regularly builds shows for the likes of Kayne n’ Lady GaGa.

👩‍💻 The Family’s website also deserves some eyeball time. Fluorescent colours, glitter, winking cats, dinosaurs; it has everything and then some. I’m curious to see whether their aesthetic dates but right now this french Startup Accelerator certainly stands out. Go on site and try to leave a few times…
