FULL TITLE: This artist draws famous historical figures as modern-day millennials — and the portraits are hilariously accurate

Tel-Aviv-based illustrator, content creator, and character designer Amit Shimoni has two passions: history and hipsters.

Since 2014, he's been working on a series of illustrations called "HIPSTORY" - a reimagining of iconic historical figures as modern-day hipsters. And with almost 20,000 Instagram followers, he's quickly gaining a large following for his work.

Everyone from Abraham Lincoln to Hillary Clinton is fair game for a Shimoni-drawn transformation: JFK gets a hipster haircut, Queen Elizabeth dons a flower crown, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel rocks black lipstick.

Keep scrolling to see some of Shimoni's coolest "hipstorical" portraits.

Yes!

The Obongo image is worth a snicker but most of the rest are yawn worthy.

These paintings are dumb.

Millenials, especially men, just don’t care about what they wear or what they look... or smell like.

They all have that late 60s 6-year-old-boy-doesn’t-care haircut, whatever shirts they found on top of a pile and slouch. They also take about a second to respond to normal conversational cadence.

What this guy pictures are metro sexuals.
