It’s great to see these two artists working together, and this is one of a couple of collaborative walls I have seen from Kool Hand and Daz Cat recently. Interestingly both artists tend to paint caricatures of animals in not entirely dissimilar styles, although Kool Hand’s work is a bit more of a line and solid fill approach where Daz Cat also uses shading.

On the left is a rather grumpy looking dog, perhaps a Bulldog of some kind sprayed by Kool Hand. It is nice to see another addition to his orangutans and crocodiles, and I am enjoying seeing his work develop further.

On the right is the piece by Daz Cat, and guess what… it is a cat, and although I have seen him deviate from his feline preference once or twice, most of his works are cats. His trademark thing is the little shape on the cat’s forehead, which in this piece gets a rather interesting fill. Both artists have well and truly woken up to the summer painting season and are pretty busy right now, which inevitably means there’s more to come.

There is no question about it, Rezwonk and Decay enjoy working together, and this collaboration really brings out the best in both. I took this picture while killing two birds with one stone…walking the dog and grabbing some pictures at the same time.

I think that this is one of my favourite pieces of writing from Rezwonk so far (spelling REZER) – some lovely letter shapes and nice clean lines. The colour selection for the collaboration as a whole is inspired and works really well on a sunny day.

I have said it before, but I am really enjoying Decay’s current writing period, each piece I see just seems to get better and better.The curves on the letters have a wonderful 3D feel to them and the cheeky Chuck grins on. A great collaboration that has managed to remain for a while in this high-turnover spot.
