About this Manufacturer
Pretty In Plastic Inc. was founded by Julie B., and is operated in the great city of Los Angeles. We are Toy Couture, from design to production, we create sculptures of all shapes and sizes…. and materials. Many artists and companies have great ideas and don’t know where to start, some want to make just one piece, some want to make limited runs and are not looking to make thousands in China, and some have a vision for a product or environment they want to create. We want to fill this need from creating prototypes and limited editions to larger scale pieces and installations. The possibilities are great and it can be done… in this country. We have also developed unique techniques that use recycled materials in our casting process, decreasing the use of raw materials, and we look forward to exploring more options and sharing them with you. Plastic can take on the personality of wood, bronze, glowing colors, sparkling candy, and platforms for artists to paint. Our services are of the highest quality, from sculpting the tiniest little pinky toe to creating Castle Greyskull in a Gallery space. We work closely with our clients to capture their unique aesthetic. 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
