tomer hanuka

I've been reading Juxtapoz at work and the feature of the last issue caught my attention. Tomer Hanuka's beautiful illustrations are a fine specimen of mixing traditional drawing with the digital medium. His clean, expressive lines are colored in digitally with rich, emotional color. He has an online portfolio that is a treat to look at. He mostly works as an illustrator but has done some work in comicss as well.
This illustration is my favorite. I believe it was used in Playboy.

Coincidently, he also did a picture for the book I am currently reading, Life of Pi. I don't know if it's for the cover of another edition or what, but it's gorgeous.
