 Artist Information
Physically residing in Los Angeles, and mentally in one another's subconscious, kozyndan are youngish husband-and-wife illustrators / artists who work collaboratively on nearly every project they do. They create CD covers ( for Weezer, The Postal Service, Daedelus, etc.) and magazine illustrations (Official Playstation magazine, Mass Appeal, "Giant Robot, and Metro.pop), as well doing work for the likes of Wieden and Kennedy and Idn. They spend much of their time though on their own projects, selling prints of their personal pieces online and in (very) select stores around the country. They just released their first book, Urban Myths - a collection of their work from the past year and a half, published by Giant Robot. Their most recent show at GR2 is up until the end of the month and features originally drawings and paintings, as well as large scale canvas prints.
In a world of increasing chaos they strive to make art that will bring a little smile to someone's face and make people forget, if only momentarily, the world outside. They make complex works that will have you discovering little details you never saw before months after you purchase a print. The images are grounded firmly in the real world but things are slightly askew - salmon swim up a street, robots shop, apples protest vegetarianism, chinese grandmas lob dumplings at happy SARS viruses, and cartoon animals engage in every manner of lovely sex acts.
Basically - kozyndan give you good things.
