kozik: no puns and no photos of the band

“I was a no-ed­u­ca­tion los­er per­son, and was def­i­nite­ly into he­do­nis­tic ex­pe­ri­ences. While I have an ap­pre­ci­a­tion of fine art and I un­der­stand it, I was go­ing to punk rock shows, not col­lege nor mu­se­ums. All of the stuff that re­al­ly turned my crank was that stuff, and it was all stuff that we could kind of re­pro­duce in our own lives; we could get a shit­ty car and dri­ve around real fast, and we could hang out with fun peo­ple and par­ty … and a lot of that stuff is re­al­ly vi­su­al­ly ar­rest­ing. It’s all pow­er im­agery, and it re­al­ly gets ba­sic im­puls­es across: Sex, drugs, vi­o­lence, weird shit.”
—Frank Kozik, 2018

“Frank Kozik has two rules for mak­ing band posters: No puns and no pho­tos of the band, ‘un­less they ab­solute­ly insist.’”
—NY­LON, 2016
 

 

With­out Frank Kozik I wouldn’t be mak­ing gig­posters.

Pe­ri­od.

 

 

His bound­less vi­sion and cre­ativ­i­ty is what pi­o­neered con­cert posters as art form to­day and I can say un­equiv­o­cal­ly that vir­tu­al­ly none of us goons would be ei­ther mak­ing nor en­joy­ing con­cert posters were it not for his work. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

RIP leg­end.
