Robert Nippoldt (born 1977 in Kranenburg, Germany) is a German illustrator, graphic designer and book artist.[1] He studied graphic design and illustration at the University of Applied Sciences in Münster. The book “Gangster. Die Bosse von Chicago” was his thesis project. Two years later in 2007, his second book “Jazz. New York in the Roaring Twenties”[2][3] was published. It was translated into several languages and won numerous awards. In 2010 “Hollywood in the 1930s”,[4] his third book on 1920s and 30s America, came out. In 2017 his fourth book “Night falls on the Berlin of the Roaring Twenties” was published. His books are accompanied by games and limited edition silkscreen prints.[5] In addition to his book projects, he illustrates for international magazines and clients including The New Yorker,[6] Le Monde, Die ZEIT, Mercedes-Benz, Reader’s Digest,[7] Taschen[8] and TIME Magazine. For commissions of this nature he collaborates with his sister Astrid Nippoldt and his wife, Christine Nippoldt, as part of their own label, Studio Nippoldt.[9][10]

gollark: I expect it to get fun if they ever end up out of sync and download two different things to one file.
gollark: My libraries just have a minified line at the top for downloading dependencies they need.
gollark: CC has many problems for this, like:* Most users are kind of noobish and will just use the simplest solution* There's already a massive patchwork of approaches (mostly just direct download)* People will be annoyed at more installation steps since probably you'll end up installing the package manager for one application you want* Libraries are crazy too - most people pass around old pastebin links
gollark: Luarocks is for libraries.
gollark: They have standards bodies and then someone goes off and does their own thing and that gets popular and then they try to merge the popular thing with the standard so we get weird bodges.
