Plasticland

Frank Kozik was first exposed to the counterculture world of "designer art toys" on a trip to Japan in 1996. His collecting hobby soon mutated into a new profession, and in 2002 Kozik made the leap from illustrator to toy designer. Kozik shares all the secrets of this arcane and cutting-edge art movement in Plasticland. This deluxe oversized volume, the first collected work of Kozik's, offers a look at the creation of modern toy design. A photographic record of all Kozik's production and pieces through early 2006, the book also features his works in serigraphy.
