You might recognize artist Christoph Niemann's name from his clever little book "I LEGO NY," but he's most known for his sketches in serious publications (like the New York Times). When he's not busy being a serious adult grown-up artist, he's apparently imagining alternate-universe lives for the most ordinary objects. Here are a few of his imaginative and smile-inducing wildlife-themed drawings.
