ABOUT THE ARTIST:

Frank Kozik moved to Austin, Texas as a teenager. His avid enthusiasm for the underground bands of that city led him to create rock posters and album covers.

Born in Madrid in 1962, today he lives and works in San Francisco, CA. “Up until now, it seems ‘underground art and design’ has been like a 2-d or acoustical thing. Now it’s 3-d. That’s amazing. The fact that EVERYONE I show the toys to, from all these scattered ‘scenes,’ likes them seems important. It’s a unifying form. I like that.” – Frank Kozik
