Dr. Destruction - Classico

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, his creative career rose largely out of his enthusiasm for Austin’s growing underground punk 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 based in San Francisco, California, where he produces artwork, toys and graphic design. He formerly managed his own record label, Man’s Ruin Records (1995-2001). Under which, he released over 220 singles and full length albums including the first Queens of the Stone Age single. He has produced artwork for a diverse range of musicians such as Pearl Jam, the Butthole Surfers, Green Day, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, the Melvins and many more. In 1996, he directed Soundgarden’s “Pretty Noose” music video. In 2001 Kozik left the music business and devoted himself full time to fine art and the newly emerging Vinyl Art Toy movement. Since 2001 he has designed over 300 separate toys and art Jerry and Bob met years ago while working for Humanoids Publishing in Los Angeles, CA. At that time, Jerry Frissen was the COOL graphic design guy...the only dude with his very own corner office. Bob was just the marketing guy with a small desk in the main office area (that didn't even have Photoshop for CMYK files). Bob was able to impress Jerry by spouting his knowledge on comics OTHER than Superheroes (everyone in US comics just wants to work on Spider-man and Superman). Jerry started to think that Bob wasn't the corporate "suit" that he first made him out to be. With time, Bob left Humanoids and convinced his new Employer that he could run their new Anime Magazine and DVD: AnimePlay. Jerry conviced Humanoids that he could write better comics than the other US workers that were trying to use Humanoids Comics as a way to prove to Marvel and DC that they could write Superheroes. Bob convinced Jerry that he has what it takes to help out in designing both the AnimePlay DVD and Magazine. And, what do you know...Jerry and Bob realized that they actually liked working together! After things with AnimePlay were slowing down, Bob and Jerry were fiending
