Christoph Niemann is a brilliant illustrator. His work is always so clever that it often sparks jealousy among creatives alike.

Enjoy.

Gilmore works tediously at this, whether it’s through the designs that he does mostly in illustrator, his extremely fine, analytical illustrations, or the music he produces.
