Lev Afor—Adi Kaplan, born in Ein Hahoresh in 1967 and Shahar Carmel, born in Tel Aviv in 1958, are graduates of the Kalisher Academy of Painting. They have been living and working together in Tel Aviv since 1994. They are engaged in writing and painting, creating comic books and graphic novels, short films, sketches, pictorial and musical performances and shows that combine all of these. Over the last 14 years, they have focused on writing, drawing and publishing graphic novels under the name “Lev Afor” [lit. Gray Heart]. The books deal with their personal experiences and immediate environment, and aim to show a more general picture of life in Tel Aviv, Israel, today.
