Real bummer. I have Green Lady hanging on the wall because I was too cheap to pony up for the GP, but love the image. He was always gracious and willing to sign or sketch when I met him at SDCC.

Gig posters got me into this hobby and some of his are the very best.

came to this hobby with a blank piece of mind paper

Kozik pieces helped me to start understanding the gig poster evolution

his love and effort were clear indicators of his success - bless you all for bringing attention to great artists here on EB

RIP - ink the clouds

I ran into kozik at D23 once just milling around the conference. I said "hey you're that guy" to which he replied "you're correct, I am that guy"

100% met Frank back in 06 at sdcc when I would go around the vinyl toy artist area to get blanks signed. He was always open to talk shop if he wasn't busy and sign whatever. Sadden over the loss, rest easy Frank.
