Pinkus is one of the founders of the alternative comics group Actus (founded in 1996), that has won international acclaim and was listed in 2007 by the American ID design magazine as one of the most prominent contemporary design groups. On 2000 he founded the program for illustration studies at the Shenkar College, Israel, and served as the director of the program for 11 years. In 2008 Pinkus's illustrated novel entitled Professor Fabrikant’s Historical Cabaret was published. The book was awarded the Sapir Prize for Debut Literature, and was translated into Italian and published by Cargo Publishing, and into French by Grasset Publishing. In 2010 he was awarded the Israeli Prime Minister's Award for his achievements as an author of fiction and graphic novellas. In 2011, an exhibition of Pinkus' work was shown at the Cartoonmuseum Basel (Basel Caricature Museum). His comics book Mr. Fibber the Storyteller, based on stories by Lea Goldberg, won the 2014 Israel Museum Award for Children's Book Illustration. In 2013, he founded, with Prof. Rutu Modan (Bezalel Academy of Art) Noah Books - an independent, experimental publishing house whose goal is to nurture and foster visual literacy among pre-schoolers. Noah Books focuses on creating comics for children based on classic Israeli texts, and has gained the support of the Ministry of Education. Selecting the texts and their adaptation is a research and exploration process conducted in collaboration - 2 - with researchers and academics in the humanities. Another goal is to support and cultivate young illustrators, graduates of Israel's design academies. Prof. Pinkus and Prof. Modan guide the creative processes of the selected artists, aiming to develop new visual narratives.
