History has never looked this good before.
Amit Shimoni is a 28-year-old Israeli illustrator whose series HIPSTORY re-imagines the world's leaders as image-obsessed hipsters.
Shimoni says the work is an "attempt to create new and altered" portraits of some of the most famous politicians in history.
I think anything can be turned into an illustration, seriously anything, whether it is scenery or a feeling; and I believe an illustration has a place anywhere - seriously anywhere - whether it is in the Louvre, or on a coaster, if it is illustrated I love it.
- Amit Shimoni, speaking to i100.co.uk
