Kozyndan - Amsterdamned Print
Kozyndan - Audience Print
Measures 27" x 13.5"
From Kozyndan: "Illustration for our best friend Daedelus, for his EP on Eastern Developements entitled The Household. The image is actually what his studio looks like, with a few fans of his music listening in on a session. The vinyl for it is probably the best use of our artwork thus far. Type design for the record was done by Pete Rentz of Graphic Havoc."

Kozyndan - Captives: Pandas & Orcas Print
Measures 18 x 24 inches. Ships rolled.
The artists explain "For the third image in our ongoing "Animal OddCouples" series, we again pair two animals that struggle due to careless human activity throughout the world. Though the plights of orcas (killer whales) and giant pandas may differ, they look great together, like ebony and ivory all mixed together! The visual combination was too fun to pass up."
Open edition. Printed on 80lb cover stock.
Kozyndan - Gray Hares (Winter Bunnies) Print
Kozyndan - Hunters: Charks & Kittens Print
Kozyndan - Ode to California Print
Offset print on 80lbs cover stock.
Measures 36 x 17.5 inches.
Introducing a beautiful new print for kozyndan, this colorful display of wonder and playful imagery is an ode to California.
As described by the artists: "We wanted to make a playful, trippy, nostalgic image revering the beautiful land that we have called home. We depict a sort of far-fetched, utopian, hippie rewilding of the landscape. Humans, newcomers to this place are appropriately scaled down small to be dwarfed by the majesty of the land, plants and animals. The central figure is a child that represents us all, as the child dreams of a future California in which we have returned to some sense of balance with the natural world."
Open edition.

Kozyndan - Year of the Pig (Cats) Print
Measures 15 by 22 inches. Ships rolled.
You all might be wondering why a print named Year of the Pig features mostly cats! This is Kozy's charming way of telling us the story of why the cat is NOT in the Chinese astrology. Kozy's own description explains the lore:
"...The Cat and the Rat were the best of friends and the smartest of all the animals. When the Jade Emperor announced the race amongst all the animals to cross the river to decide which 12 animals would be in the Chinese Zodiac, the Rat tricked the strong Ox into helping him across the river, only to leap forward at the last moment to claim first place. Even more deviously though, the Rat told his best friend the Cat the WRONG DAY for the race! The Cat showed up to find the race had already been run! The Cat would certainly have been in the Zodiac instead of the Pig (who came in last place as he got hungry during the race and stopped for a big snack and then got sleepy and took a nap). Supposedly this is why cats chase rats to this very day (and how I justify painting 138 cats to celebrate the Year of the Pig - looking closely though and you will also find the pig and the devious rat!)."
