Frank Kozik began his career in the mid-80s creating posters for upcoming concerts. He has been credited for single-handedly reviving the 'lost' art of the concert poster. As his career blossomed, his work was presented in over 60 gallery shows worldwide, with multiple exhibits in Tokyo and London.
More recently, Kozik has been known for his involvement in the design and production of vinyl toys with companies such as Kid Robot and Toy2R. He is best known for creations such as the Smorkin' Labbit, the Hate Dunny, and Dr. Bomb.
His newest toy creations in partnership with Kid Robot involve 13 highly stylized real-world toys known simply as 'Chumps.' With characters including a boxing rabbit, bookie worm, cat-burglar dog, and a gangster octopus, this blind box rag-tag band of outsiders is bound to create another stir in the toy market.
