Hanoch Piven

I am working on my own stuff!! Its mostly in sketch form but I should have some stuff posted by Sunday. In the meantime, I am very excited to share this very talented funny illustrator with you. I am sure most of you have seen his work before; its been featured in art directors annuals and various publications. I think the Barbra Streisand one is the most successful and probably the most recognizable.














I like Piven's work because it is funny, it is deceptively simple, and it is meaningful. He is able to boil down people into their simplest shapes, as evidenced by the Clint Eastwood portrait. I love that he creates the likeness using elements that relates something about the subject's personality. I am very inspired by the seamless integration of form and function. To see more of his work enter his name into Google and a few sites pop up.
