“Glad to Have You Back” ✂️
This originally started off as a small, little something I made in anticipation for The Clone Wars’ final season. After it debuted, the effect that the writing, acting, and visuals left had me EAGER to revisit this painting! How incredible of a journey it’s been to see these two persevere since 2008.
Let me know what your personal favorite moment or story arc was from The Clone Wars series!✨

I love flowers so much! 꽃
(꽃 is the word for flower)
Title: “A Super Day In California!“
Size: 16x20 inches
Medium: acrylic on board
SOLD
We did this little painting for the massive Hello Kitty 45th Anniversary Exhibition that opened last week here in Los Angeles, CA at COREY HELFORD GALLERY. We were thinking about the experience of seeing this past spring’s wildflower super bloom paired with a once in a decade mass migration of millions of painted lady butterflies. I think we spend far too little time appreciating the miracles that nature creates, and far too much time contributing to its destruction. Many would argue that by viewing, or making known the existence of these remaining pockets of natural beauty/ ephemeral wildlife events, we contribute to their ultimate destruction. On the other hand, sharing these things may make people appreciate them more and want to care for their continued existence on the Earth.
Its hard to know how to walk this fine line, especially in this age of social media, where people can flock to any place you/event you give a name or location to. Still, we do want to share it with people we know would appreciate and respect these natural events - if Hello Kitty came to visit us in California, I think we would entrust her with this experience as she would probably be in the moment and appreciate its beauty deeply, rather than just scrambling for a selfie.
Anyhow - the opening for the exhibition was a massive event - TV news coverage, line around the block all night to get in to see it, people decked out in costume, with Hello Kitty herself on hand to take photos with, not to mention a massive collection of amazing interpretations of Hello Kitty by 100 international artists ( Caro Buermann did an amazing job curating this huge show).
The show is on view till August 3rd, 2019, so if you are in LA and love Hello Kitty, do go check it out!

“Super Bloom 2017″
12 x 9 inches
Nihonga painting on board
Kozy’s first painted depiction of one of California’s tremendous wildflower “Super bloom” events, based on one of our visits to a spot that happened to exploding particularly magnificently in 2017. We felt like we were in some dreamy psychedelic fantasy movie. I just didn’t seem real. It was an ideal subject for a painting for our exhibition “The Golden State” at Gregorio Escalante Gallery.

“RIP Puffin”
18 x 24 inches
Nihonga painting on board
2017
Created for our 2017 exhibition at the late Greg Escalante’s Los Angeles Gallery for our double exhibition “The Golden State”. Purchased by one of our favorite collectors, Eric Ayzenberg.
Kozy made this painting of some of our friends’ chickens from their homestead in Santa Cruz, CA. Unfortunately the hen on the left, Puffin, was later eaten by a coyote. Rest in peace, Puffin! We recently went to visit them again and they currently have 3 ducks, 7 turkeys, and 29 chickens!!!
