Here’s a short interview at PingMag with L.A. cutie-pie illustrator couple (just scroll down the interview, you’ll see a photo) Kozyndan (that’s Kozue and Dan = Kozy-n-dan), who just opened their exhibition at Paul Smith SPACE in Shibuya, Tokyo. They have a blog too (but it has no RSS feed! How can I track their every post without a feed?!)
One of your first questions, as it would be for me, would be: How do two illustrators create a single piece together? Their answer:
Kozue: It depends. Sometimes, it’s just one of us finishing off a piece and other times we would draw an illustration together. The usual process is that we draw rough sketches with a pencil on paper and scan it in. Then we start to color it in on Photoshop. If you take a closer look, you can see the lines drawn by a pencil on the background.
Honestly, that still doesn’t answer the question, so it, along with how many licks to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop, will have to remain shrouded in mystery. What ain’t a mystery, is how amazing their work is. The image above is only about a quarter of a full-360 degree panoramic illustration they did. You can view it in full size and rotate spin around the QVTR here.
