In the niche realm of custom vinyl and resin art toys, RunDMB has established himself as a veteran artist. His unique designs have garnered international recognition, featuring in collections worldwide. Beyond toys, he customizes trainers, skate decks, and various other mediums, occasionally releasing limited edition t-shirts and prints. 1AM and curator James Brown, are proud to present “Kozik”, an exhibition that pays homage to Frank Kozik’s artistic career over the past 30 years.
