Berlin-Based Peachbeach Collaborative Bring Urban Art To Their Graphic Design and Illustration
Urban Art
PEACHBEACH is an art- and design collective from Berlin, made up of designers and illustrators Attila Szamosi and Lars Wunderlich. |
Wunderlich is from a small town in the north-east of Germany where time runs a bit slower than the rest of the country. Drawing since he was yound, Wunderlich crashed into graffiti in his youth. Then he studied art in a small town up north. After this he started studies again, this time in Berlin and it was graphic design.
Szamosi was born in Budapest, and raised in a small town near Cologne in the west of Germany. He started drawing also really early and was always fascinated by comics and electronic dance music. After school he came to Berlin during his design internship and also to study graphic design.

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. |
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!
