Meet Christoph Niemann - an amazingly talented illustrator, who creates unique drawings featuring everyday objects. You may recognize him from the NY Times, as he works there, but what we really love are his "Sunday Sketches"... Every Sunday he sits down and creates unique, minimal illustrations out of everyday objects then shares the results on Instagram. Each one of his illustrations are like visual experiments based on different object every time.
“I try to let the object dictate where I’m going,” Cristoph Niemann told Bored Panda. “I pick a random object, put it on my desk and then just start staring at it, desperately hoping that somethings clicks. I try to tackle these images with absolutely no plan regarding the end result. I’m searching for an unusual angle that leads to a visual connection that is surprising for me (and the viewer)”
P.S. If you like Niemann’s work, check out his books on Amazon!

Shouldn't his little feet be pointing the same direction as his face?

Maybe a right handed one but he is taking it in a mirror.

So? because you saw those images in a magazine they aren't original? Better check your sources before saying something like that...

The funny thing is it doesn't look like just a dinosaur, but a dinosaur with a sock over his head.

Wow, I had to look twice to see the 3D object. They all blended so well!

Are you defining original, as the first thing ever? If that's the case then originally is impossible because everything people create now is inspired by something. There are others who do this kind of art style, but each of their works is different, i.e. original in the item used. If I misunderstood I apologize.

My boyfriend says "Clever" and I totally agree - much better choice of words.
