Frank 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 polls, his reputation grew as an artist who's work was
graphically compelling as well as culturally gripping. With hundreds
of full-color, limited edition, silk screened posters under his
belt for such renowned artists as Nirvana, Pearl Jam, The Red Hot
Chili Peppers and The Beastie Boys, he has also been the subject
of many magazine articles such as Newsweek, Rolling Stone, Spin,
and Details. Not limited to the rock world, Frank has also done
work for Nike, BASF, Slim Jim and MTV. His newest venture, Man's
Ruin, is a fully blown graphic production and record label, which
is firmly dedicated to producing the ultimate in collectible vinyl
and show posters.
