Train Guys

Christoph Niemann, who wrote and illustrated a delightful picture book called The Police Cloud, also has a monthly illustrated blog, Abstract City, at the New York Times. I highly recommend the latest (first? I'm not sure) entry, "The Boys and the Subway," which is about Niemann's young sons, who are huge enthusiasts of the New York subway.Very witty and fun.

Thanks for pointing this out. I have something similar up at 7-Imp today: Author and illustrator Elisha Cooper wrote a personal essay for The Morning News, and I linked to it. It's a short, enjoyable read.

It's fun to track the non-picture-book activities of these talented illustrators. I had no idea Niemann was doing that over there. Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up, Jules. I'll have to read that as soon as I finished Elisha C.'s new book, about high school. I'm enjoying it.
