An imaginative illustrator has recreated various world leaders as you've never seen them (and never could have possibly even imagined them) before.

Amit Shimoni, from Israel, has reimagined Barack Obama as a hipster, the Dalai Lama with a mohawk and ear-studs, and a blue-haired Hillary Clinton. Shimoni has brought multiple world leaders together in his 'HIPSTORY' collection, with the designs printed on mobile phone cases, cushion covers and more... https://instagram.com/p/4WL1FWLoyS/?taken-by=amitshimoni https://instagram.com/p/yhT23Uro6t/?taken-by=amitshimoni https://instagram.com/p/1sueiALo4v/?taken-by=amitshimoni He's already come in for a bit of flak for his choice of subjects, telling Israeli website No Camels: "Most of the US figures I’ve chosen have been Democrats. This wasn’t intentional, yet some people are saying I’m biased." Shimoni has at least one Conservative subject, though, with a version of Margaret Thatcher which is likely to stun many of her political opponents https://instagram.com/p/xKE4WTLoze/?taken-by=amitshimoni
