"Originating from a found photo album unearthed in a Venice Beach thrift shop, kozyndan were inspired to create imagined personae documenting the essence of these lost photographs. This clothbound hardcover is comprised solely of small, detailed graphite portraits, each piece captures the surreal humor and irreverence that has become a trademark of kozyndan's distinctive style of artwork. Illuminating select portraits are short stories inspired and imagined by a community of artist friends and writers including Pasha Malla, Mark ""frosty"" McNeill, Ryan Sands, Mariko Tamaki, Maggie MacDonald, Nick Flanagan and Porous Walker."
