You've seen Frank Kozik's work before, even if you dont realize it. His work is so iconic and voluminous that it's probably already somewhere in the recesses of your mind. He's done album covers and images for bands like Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Nine Inch Nails, Neil Young, Sonic Youth, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jane's Addiction, Ice T, George Clinton, Green Day, Beck, The Offspring, The Melvins and lord knows how many other awesome bands.
From 1994 to 2003, Kozik ran his own independent record label,...
So Kozik wanted to make Blood Meridian? That could be potentially incredible... It would kind of match his illustrations, being bleak and violent but presented in a bright, almost nonchalant manner... But I guess whichever studio will get some douchebag to make it now McCarthy's bankable after No Country...
I am such a fan of Frank's that when I was eighteen I my first tat was one of his drawings! Great interview, Bout time someone got him to talk! Thank you!
The article is pretty dated, last year before the election. Looks like it was dug up for filler. 'Course most of your current articles were written by a guy who has been dead for over two years. Seems like the SG staff has lost their enthusiasm and is getting getting bored or is continually stoned.
He has a solo show at 63 Bluxome in SF tonight. (Right around the corner from my show at 4th and Brannan - Chrome Bags). I highly recommend checking out both.
