Graphic Artist

Frank Kozik (*1962) is an US-American graphic artist who is famous for his music posters and comic toys.

Kozik was born in Madrid, Spain in 1962 . At the age of 14 he moved to the United States and settled in Austin, Texas. Credited with single handedly reviving the "lost" art of the concert poster, Frank's creative career grew largely out of his enthusiasm for Austin's growing underground rock scene in the mid-eighties. Starting with black and white flyers for friends' bands posted on telephone poles, his reputation grew as an artist whose work was graphically compelling as well as culturally gripping.

Kozik is an artist currently based in San Francisco, California, where he produces artwork and graphics, and formerly managed his own record label, Man's Ruin as well as Rise Records.

His work is well known to devotees of album-cover art and concert flyer art. He has produced artwork for musicians such as Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Lydia Lunch, Ice T, George Clinton, Green Day, Beck, The Offspring, The Melvins and many more.

Kozuk has also been the subject of many magazine articles such as Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Spin, and Details.

Kozik is also heavily involved in the design and production of vinyl toys. He has teamed up numerous times with such entities as Kid Robot, Toy2R and others and is credited with such creations as Smorkin' Labbits, the Hate Dunny, Dr. Bomb and more.

Not limited to the rock world, Frank has also done work for Nike, BASF, Slim Jim Kid Robot, Oakley and MTV. His newest venture, fkozik.com, is an interactive site dedicated to creating a place for fans to go as well as purchase his art, both of which are firmly dedicated to producing the ultimate in collectible show posters and prints.
