Just sent to me is an awesome interview done by the rad peeps over at Streetlevel, this is a really indepth write up about all of Franks work, where he came from, what to expect, it's a great interview, and here is just a snippet!

"If you don't know Frank Kozik by name, you at least know his work. The prolific toymaker has produced over 800 toys in the last eight years, most notably his signature Smorkin' Labbit for Kidrobot, among a slew of other cult-favorite toy designs. Formerly known for creating iconic poster and album artwork for bands like Pearl Jam, Nirvana and Soundgarden -- along with managing his own Man's Ruin record label -- Kozik put aside the music business to make a constant stream of highly coveted art toys.

StreetLevel tracked down the San Francisco-based artist at the recent Harley-Davidson "Art of Rebellion" show in New York, where his artwork was featured on an entire Harley bike. The toyman discussed his obsession with Mao Tse-tung, the politics of the art scene, why it's hard to make money in toys and more. "
