Frank Kozik Likes To Smoke.
Artist Frank Kozik‘s studio is across the hall from my office. It is a dream space for building anything from a car to a toy sculpt. FK has owned Man’s Ruin record label, worked for top ad agencies, published books, designed skateboard graphics, and is now a very well known toy maker to the collector market. A personal note about FB… he hates Kaiser Wilhelm II, loves Mopar, and is known to give history lessons steamroll-style. You’re gonna hear it, if you like it or not.
I shot some toys for Kozik’s next book. There is talk about making some of the images available as signed additions on 16X20 metallic paper. The scale really changes when you see it large, and is complemented well on the super glossy surface of metallic paper. The medium matches the content. Hit me with a comment (or email) if you’re interested, and I’ll send you info when they are available.

Schweet toys. Great job making them literally pop off the page. They will look sick on metallic paper. Please shoot me some info when you have a few.

Kozik’s toys are one of the few toys that I look forward to checking out, especially his Dictator Sculpture Series. Fantastic job photographing these toys. They look great!
