Born 1976

Since 2003 he's the publisher of Dimona Comix Group. Dimona has participated in European comix festivals and group exhibitions, and the books have been distributed all over the world through Diamond Comics.

Amitai is also a political artist. Among other works are the "Yes, I fuck an Arab" poster (in which Amitai played the Arab), and the infamous Israeli Anti-Semitic Cartoon Contest.

Illustrates and designs books, gig-posters, flyers and e-flyers for dance clubs and music events. Some of his works appeared in book collections, including the prestigious Art of Rock book, from Chronicle Books (in the U.S.), and Illustration Now2 from Taschen.

Published and edited (together with Yaron Nisky and Eyal B) the notorious Israeli comics magazine Penguins' Perversions (Hebrew). 'Penguins' presented to the baffled audience a combination of raw, black & nonsense humor on the surface, and serious social criticism as an undercurrent.

Studied at the Bezalel Academy of Arts and Design in Jerusalem, and won an award for outstanding achievements in illustration for his final project.
