Pouring a beer or changing a diaper may seem like commonplace activities, but when visualized on paper in step-by-step diagrams, they take on unusual lives of their own.
For the past two decades, award-winning illustrator and graphic designer Nigel Holmes has created pictorial explanations of ordinary tasks and concepts. He depicts various activities that people do, from the mundane -- changing a tire or repairing pet scratches on furniture -- to the offbeat, like performing a facelift or cremating a body.
Holmes presents some of his favorites in a new book called Wordless Diagrams.
