So...why have i chosen them?

Kozyndan's artwork is completely universal, they seem to cross genres with the greatest of ease creating fine art out of cartoon like illustrations which seems to be nearly impossible. They also seem to be able to mix fantasy scenarios with almost photo realistic landscapes.

Another thing is that you can really see the personality of the artists clearly in the art they make all of their work is consistantly funny, cute and slightly disturbing.

They also tend to place hidden messages in their art usually to do with current events or social subcultures for instance:

A matter of PRIDE: The Battle on the River-Tyne (click for larger image)

In this panorama there are a few hidden messages or observations.

1. The two battling robots represent the old ship building industry which made Newcastle what it is today and the new robot represents the modern side of Newcastle trying to replace the old in favour of somthing cleaner and more refined.
2. The angel of the north flying in the sky is Kozyndan's twisted representation of the heightened security at airports, the theory is that if everyone on the planes were naked we wouldn't have any trouble. I think they call it Naked Angel Airlines or something like that.
3. If you look in the lower left there is a political message in the form of Tony Blair and George Bush playing with toy soldiers. They are saying that they don't seem to treat these soldiers like they are real people and are instead playing pointless war games.
4. They make a mockery of the "chav" and drinking sub-cultures in Newcastle (the horses heads on the people are just for fun they took them off the emblem for Newcastle).
5. The last detail I'd like to point out is that you can actually see Kozy and Dan themselves (Kozy is trying to look under Dan's kilt in the middle of the painting).

These secret hidden messages, playful imagery, tiny detail in a real surrounding are what I like about all of Kozyndan's work its so unique and interesting to look at that even your average Joe can look over it multiple times and still find it entertaining in a way.
