One of the most delightful Instagrams we know of is Abstract Sunday, an ongoing array of illustrator, author, artist Christoph Niemann‘s stunningly imaginative work.

He helps us do what we hope Improvise Life does: see new possibilities in the everyday.

Here’s a selection of favorite Niemann images that set the tone for a practice you can do anywhere: what can you SEE in the everyday things around you?
