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 artCavey is a plush series by A Little Stranger. Each Cavey is lovingly handmade in the UK and come in many breeds, each with their own unique personalities. Caveys love humans, but they’re very shy, so they disguise themselves as everyday objects so they can observe us. If you find one be sure to say “Hey Cavey!” because they just want to be friends! Behind every Cavey is a focus on unique, handmade, quality collectibles for grown ups. Each breed will be released in small numbers before being discontinued. Every Cavey comes in a drawstring bag, ready to keep him safe on his adventures with you!
