kozyndan's Love Of The Ocean Is Deep

kozyndan

Artists Kozue and Dan Kitchens are collectively known as kozyndan. This husband and wife team work collaboratively to create highly detailed paintings and drawings for both illustration and fine art, many of which are based in their obsession with the ocean and underwater life.

Husband and wife artists Kozue and Dan Kitchens are collectively known as kozyndan. They work collaboratively to create highly detailed paintings and drawings for both illustration and fine art.

The pair met while majoring in illustration at California State University, Fullerton. Since then, their projects have included CD covers for bands such as Weezer and The Postal Service, clothing (including lines of illustrated shoes), and posters for companies such as Nike, Inc.

Their work is also featured in the books, Urban Myths and The Unknown Portraits.

Kozyndan care deeply about the topic of shark finning. In December 2012, Dan Kitchens posted a controversial statement about finning to accompany an Instagram photo of shark fins for sale.

It is understandable then why in the image below, "The Best Sushi In Town." Set in a bustling kaiten (conveyor belt) sushi restaurant, no one knows just what makes this particular joint's sushi so delicious, all they know is they can't get enough. Everyone in town is raving about it. If ONLY they knew what the secret ingredient really was, and who was really serving it to them!

The couple are so obsessed with the ocean and being underwater that they "hope to someday come to rest at the bottom of the sea and slowly be devoured by deep creatures over many years."

Black Bunny Pillow From kozyndan

For the Home

Artists kozyndan's Black Bunnies pillow represents the great results that chance and error can sometimes bring to art and design.

New from artist partners kozyndan, the "BLACK bunny blossom" limited edition art cushion.

kozyndan have released several cushions with them in the past and we have to say, they make a great product. The cushions are so soft and the print quality is very fine.

As the artists prepared to create the silk screen edition of our "Bunny Blossom" earlier this year, their printer showed a misprinted version of the print as a color proofing. In it he had printed the bunnies black instead of white. "We thought the image rather striking, but it was just a one off misprint and never recreated… until now for this cushion."
