History[]
Kozik has worked with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Stone Temple Pilots, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Melvins, The Offspring, Butthole Surfers, and Helmet.[1] Kozik used to run Man's Ruin Records, a media outlet and record label, and has published several books including Man's Ruin: Posters and Art by Frank Kozik[2] and Desperate Measures Empty Pleasures.[3] Kozik has been described as "one of the rock world's top poster artists", and interviewed in Rolling Stone. Kozik created Smorkin' Labbit[4] and is the Creative Director of Kidrobot.[5] Although primarily known for his screen prints, a rare painting of the Labbit sold on the TV blind auction show Four Rooms for £4,000.[6]
Kozik has been a force in the designer toy movement with many of his works produced in that form.
He is also a member of the Stuckism art movement.[7]
