Watched the first episode of Netflix’s original docuseries, Abstract: The Art of Design, tonight (part of it anyway) featuring Christoph Niemann. There’s an effortlessness to his work that’s appealing to me. The effortlessness comes through because of his work ethic, I think. “It’s not about waiting for hours for this moment where inspiration strikes. It’s just about showing up and getting started and then something amazing happens or it doesn’t . All that matters is you enable the chance for something to happen. For that, you have to sit at your desk and you have to draw and do and make decisions and hope for the best. You create a process that allows you to do unembarrassing stuff on command is the only way you can survive. You create an armor of craft around you.” -Christoph Neimann
