After his military service, while backpacking in Northern India for a few months, he finally acknowledged that creating art would be his life mission. Enter his latest, most creative work, Hipstory.\u00a0<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I wanted HIPSTORY to re-imagine the great leaders of modern history and place them in a different time and culture era- ours.\u00a0I wanted to created a sort of mirror- a mirror that on the one hand is supposed to make one\u00a0smile, and on the other to make him think. As I see it, criticism\u00a0doesn\u2019t always have to be\u00a0poignant\u00a0it can simply be a method to\u00a0arouse\u00a0discussion and show things under a certain light.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We hope you enjoy this smile-inducing gallery of clever illustrations as much as we do of our great leaders portrayed as modern-day\u00a0Hipsters. Also be sure to check out a behind the scenes look at Shimoni&#8217;s process for creating his Einstein work\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=QGnpi1TGWRs\" target=\"_blank\">here<\/a>. Shimoni&#8217;s work \u00a0is available for purchase on his\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.shimoni-illustration.com\/collections\/wall-prints\" target=\"_blank\">site<\/a>\u00a0too.
