How Austin shaped Frank Kozik, the punk artist behind print mania.
in 1997, and fascist symbolism became a part of his later art – thoroughly satirized and lampooned in bawdy fashion, a melding of the high-minded collages of Dead Kennedys go-to artist Winston Smith and underground 80s sleaze comix like. His mother came from Spanish aristocracy, his father was a US serviceman, and in 1976 this military brat was relocated to California.
Everyone wanted a Kozik design, and he became the most in-demand artist in town, even producing the poster for the 1993 world premiere of Richard Linklater's. But he wasn't just a local artist: acts like the Beastie Boys, Stone Temple Pilots, and the Dwarves had become fans when they swung through town, and were commissioning posters for entire tours. He held his own art show at CBGB in 1992, and by 1993 the underground artist was producing posters for Neil Young.
Arguably, Kozik started the modern collectible print scene."I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing now if it wasn't for Kozik," Doyle said, dubbing the artist"a legend. He and the guys in the '90s revitalized the rock poster scene, and popularized the Lowbrow movement that popularized the gig poster scene that lead to Mondo and what I'm doing now."
