Sometimes, I just can’t get enough bunnyfish! Illustrator duo Kozyndan have released another gorgeously illustrated panoramic print.
Pacific Drift
pencil + digital
29 feet long by 6 feet high
Beneath the Surface exhibition
Click here to see a larger version.
detail
This is another panoramic that depicts a “battle” of sorts. coagulated masses of human refuse are moving out from their birthplace in the North Pacific Gyre, destroying everything in their path on the way towards human civilization on land. The coral reefs (and we humans by proxy even though we probably don’t deserve it) however have defenders - the bunnyfish! A school of bunnyfish is defending this reef with their teeth and tails. Can bunnyfish somehow eat and digest all this plastic and garbage?
Print details
+ Digitally painted panoramic offset printed artwork on 80lb. cover stock
+ 99 x 19cm (39×7.5inches)
+ Price: 30EUR

Congratulations to the Parachute type foundry for winning an European Design Award for the Centro Pro typeface families!
Centro Pro was designed by Panos Vassiliou, and you can view his sketches and design process here.
PF Centro Pro is a type system, not just a type family. This large series of 40 fonts with 1519 characters each, is composed of 3 superfamilies (serif, sans and slab), includes true italics and supports Latin, Greek and Cyrillic. It is an almost ‘invisible’ typeface which has legibility as its main attribute and is ideal for a wide range of design works. It does not attract any unnecessary attention, but rather serves its purpose. A rare case of contemporary type family working across three alphabets, Centro Pro meets an ever-growing demand for such typefaces among pan-European companies and institutions.
- European Design Awards jury
Meet the Centro Pro family.
Purchasing links are available after each image.
