Yan Shimony

Yan Shimony is an Israeli illustrator, comics artist, art director and visual-development artist whose early international work included a period in London drawing for Judge Dredd: The Megazine. A graduate of Jerusalem’s Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design, he worked in advertising art direction before and after comics and later developed a broad freelance practice encompassing children’s books, magazines, animation, character design and concept art.

In 1992 Shimony drew Texas City Sting, a three-part Judge Dredd story written by John Wagner and coloured by Gina Hart, followed later that year by the Judge Hershey story Deathsquads.
