Pixels

Imagine New York City turned into a video game. "Pixels" is directed by Patrick Jean who does work for Division Productions. The video also features music by Naïve New Beaters "L.A. trumpets".

Kozyndan

Two artists from Los Angeles create an amazing art duo called Kozyndan (which are their names put together, Kozy and Dan). Their panoramic illustrations are intricate and beautiful. Each illustration includes a unique theme with an unexpected element (flying monkeys, bunny fish, and asian men dressed in school girl outfits). Take a look and enjoy their work! (They are my favorite art duo by far) Highly recommended to click on the image to see full view and detail since they are large digital images. Also check out their website for more panoramic illustrations.
