Posted on January 19, 2013 by admin

It is said that two heads are better than one, and what better way to prove this age old phrase than to feature the work of DKNG Studios a design studio that has been making waves through its amazing and stunning music posters. DKNG is a fusion of minds of Dan Kuhlken’s and Nathan Goldman’s minds who both knew each other since high school.

Dan and Nathan started collaborating together in college wherein Nathan was working for a boo, in which Dan created the illustrations for every chapter in the book. As cliche as it gets but the rest is history.

Not only did the duo makes fantastic posters but they have tried their hands in other venues such as packaging, apparel, web design and identity. Truly this solidifies the claim of two heads are better than one.
