Heathrow the Hedgehog - Orange

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 This special Artist Edition of Kozik's HEATHROW has been customized by Kozik himself!

We believe that everyone has a story to tell, be it through our own art or reflected in the objects we choose to collect. But these days, our stories are caught between worlds: we smile through emoticons, play sports with remote controls and read books through a screen. At MAQET, we love technology that enables creativity, but we love the sensation of holding a real object generated by that creativity even more. The feel of it. The weight of it. The interaction that comes from it. MAQET believes that there shouldn't be obstacles to making cool, unique and collectible stuff. Technology should be fun, prices affordable, time lines reasonable and the minimum order as little as one piece. Collecting is an extension of your personality, so why not put your own stamp on it? MAQETs are vibrant, full-color collectibles made with Plastin®, a porcelain-like material with a smooth, shiny finish. We bring them to life in our eco-conscious Northern California lab and ship them straight to your door. Designing globally and producing locally is part of MAQET's commitment to being a green company, and by removing the obstacles and empowering individuals, MAQET puts
