and they are awesome.
seriously … probably one of the most down to earth, nicest and creative couples you’ll ever come across. we were stoked when we first met them at a a mutual art show and have been admiring their work ever since.
they kind of seem to do it all when it comes to design, from posters (their specialty) to shirts, cards and logos. they even designed the official merch logo for the 2009 bonaroo art & music festival! they’re fun, nature loving people and it shows in their art.
check out their interview below for a peek into their storming brains. we bet you’re gonna love them, too.
Age … Jay-26/Briana-23
Born in …Brooklyn/ New Brunswick
Currently living … Central Jersey ( Likely relocating to Philly area soon)
Describe your perfect day …Waking up without an alarm clock, preferrably outside in a tent, having no plans, no email/computer connection, just letting the brain rest outside in nature.
Five things you cannot live without … Eachother (aww), passion, a vegetable garden, creativity, and our quesadilla maker.
Who do you admire most? Any group or person that exhibits an extraordinary amount of passion for life and doing what they love while they’re here on this earth.
How did you find your niche? When we met eachother in college, collaboration was a key to our most successful silkscreen prints…so we have “brainstormed” ever since!
Where do you find your inspiration? Look outside…
Current projects you are working on? An Autism awareness poster project. A kind of “grassroots” campaign to dispose of the negative view of Autism. Also we are working on growing the company and our capabilities, expanding our web presence, and designing/ printing new work!
How/What do you gain from your work? Positivity, most definitely. The final product is almost always positive in some way. We like our prints to make us laugh and feel happy.
If you had a superpower, what would it be? To be able to make grass or gardens grow really quick. There always seems to be a lot of grey concrete out there that should be replaced with nature.
What do you dig most about OKOTO?…..OKOTO relief, giving back is super important!
