Illustrators/cartoonists: Tomer + Asaf Hanuka

Ninja April 25th, 2007

When I first learned about this twin set of illustrators, I was terribly amused (I’m still not sure as to why) that they shared genetic information as well as a passion for drawing. They were raised in different settings, studied at different schools, but collaborate on their ongoing experimental comic book series, Bipolar.

Tomer was born in Israel, studied at the School of Visual Arts in NYC, and currently works out of London. He has won multiple medals from the Society of Illustrators, the Society of Publication Designers, American Illustration, and Print magazine. His clients include MTV, Rolling Stone Magazine, Spin, The New Yorker, The New York Times, and Time Magazine.

Asaf was born in Israel (which I feel silly repeating considering they’re twins), studied at Emile Cohl in Lyon, and currently works out of Tel Aviv. He has worked on graphic novels with both Didier Daeninckx and Etgar Keret. His clients include Rolling Stone Magazine, The New York Times, The Wall St. Journal, Forbes, and Time Magazine.

Here are a few of my favs from their portfolios.
