A moment with Hanoch Piven



I'd heard about Hanoch Piven's work over at my favourite illustration blog: Drawn!. He is amazing. He can make recognizable caricatures of famous people using only a few everyday items. And not only that, the items are always related to the person he is portraying.

A couple of weeks later, I found out he was coming to Kzanderallia as part of a tour he's doing in which he gives a little conference and then a workshop. He also brings a few pieces for temporary exhibit.

The conference was really entertaining. He shared some of his experiences, showed a lot of his works and then fielded a few questions from the audience. Mr. Piven was really quite friendly and approachable, and he even checked out some projects a few local aspiring illustrators showed him. (I imagine he gets asked to do that a lot.)
