Frank Kozik "Punk Rock Warhol" - Remembering Kozik With Special Co-host Jermaine Rogers

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 21:07:00 +0000

In this heartfelt episode, join us as we pay tribute to the legendary Frank Kozik, a creative genius who left an indelible mark on the world of art and pop culture. Hosted by a special co-host, Jermaine Rogers, we delve into the life and legacy of Frank Kozik, who sadly passed away last year at the age of 61. Kozik's impact on the art world was immense.

Known for his contributions as "The Modern Gig Poster," a master of vinyl toy design, and a relentless explorer of pop culture's depths, Kozik's journey resonates with Andy Warhol's mantra: "Good Business Is The Best Art." Often referred to as the "Punk Rock Warhol" by Sheppard Fairey, Frank Kozik succeeded at everything he tried, and that's why his absence feels so profound.

In this episode, we explore how Frank Kozik's art and legacy will continue to inspire and captivate future generations. We extend our gratitude to his partner Sharon, Scott Tolleson, and, of course, our amazing co-host, Jermaine Rogers, for joining us in this tribute to a true creative icon. Join us as we celebrate the enduring impact of Frank Kozik's art and remember the man who made it all possible.
