It’s Friday! And with Friday comes my Friday Favorites. Check out Christoph Niemann’s illustrations that showed up all over this week’s edition of The New York Times Magazine. Also, we were lucky enough to score an exclusive interview with Imagekind illustrator Mario Zucca!

Christoph Niemann in The New York Times Magazine

The June 14th, 2009 edition of The New York Times Magazine titled Infrastructure! featured several of Imagekind member artist Christoph Niemann’s illustrations. The issue focuses on examining the different ways that we have built our cities and our very lives. Whether it’s the buildings, bridges, streets or as personal as the way we’ve routed our internet connection, understanding our infrastructure is foundational for improvement.

Niemann offers several poignant illustrations throughout the magazine to help demonstrate this pursuit of understanding. Best of all, you can purchase some of the illustrations featured in The New York Times Magazine directly from his Imagekind galleries! Hopefully he’ll add some more soon… hint, hint.

Several articles in the magazine are published online and make an interesting, and insightful, read!
