Strangekiss Anarchy Black Cat Qee Limited Edition Vinyl Art Toy Collectible Artwork by street graffiti artist Frank Kozik. 2007 Signed Limited Edition of 300 Artwork Size 8" Tall Frank Kozik SIGNED Toy2R 8" Strangekiss Anarchy Black Cat Qee With Box Strangekiss Anarchy Black Cat Qee by Frank Kozik – Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork The Strangekiss Anarchy Black Cat Qee, created by street pop art legend Frank Kozik, stands as a pivotal collectible in the world of vinyl toy art. Released in 2007 by Toy2R and distributed by Strangekiss, this figure combines the aesthetic force of punk anarchy with the underground appeal of graffiti street culture. Limited to only 300 pieces worldwide, each piece is signed by Frank Kozik himself, enhancing its significance as both an artwork and a cultural time capsule. This 8-inch tall vinyl figure is not only a toy but a sculptural embodiment of rebellion, creative dissent, and design-forward commentary. Kozik’s use of stark black, pale green accents, and minimalist facial expression channels the spirit of punk zines and DIY ethics, anchored in a fine art object suitable for collectors and enthusiasts alike. Frank Kozik’s Signature Style in Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork Frank Kozik, born in Spain and active primarily in the United States until his death in 2023, became a renowned figure for his unapologetic visual language that spans posters, music ephemera, and vinyl figures. Known for merging political satire with subcultural aesthetics, his work consistently infused the irreverent energy of punk, underground comics, and graffiti. The Strangekiss Anarchy Black Cat Qee showcases Kozik’s penchant for mixing bold graphics with lowbrow art influences. Featuring sharp angular brows, an anarchy symbol on the forehead, and a cigarette jutting from the figure’s mouth, this character represents a defiant stance against sanitized mainstream design. The exaggerated feline form is softened with rounded limbs and oversized paws, creating a humorous contrast to the figure’s otherwise aggressive demeanor. Qee Platform Toys as Fine Art Objects in Graffiti and Pop Culture The Qee platform, developed by Toy2R in Hong Kong, has been a mainstay of the designer toy movement since the early 2000s. Serving as a blank canvas for some of the world’s most creative graffiti and street pop artists, the Qee series has housed custom designs by heavyweights such as Shepard Fairey, Sket One, and Kozik. The Anarchy Black Cat Qee taps into this tradition while pushing the limits with its politically charged symbolism and expressive attitude. Each piece in the limited edition run was packaged in a vibrant pink and yellow box emblazoned with phrases like The Future Is Stupid, reflecting Kozik’s tendency to challenge authority and consumerism while engaging collectors through provocative humor and subversion. Street Pop Art & Graffiti Artwork in the Vinyl Art Movement This limited edition Qee is a testament to the cross-pollination of street pop art, graffiti artwork, and designer toy culture. By taking cues from countercultural symbols and recontextualizing them through the form of collectible vinyl figures, Frank Kozik forged a new visual language that thrives in both gallery spaces and streetwear scenes. His collaborations with brands like Toy2R made it possible for a new wave of artists to enter the art market with three-dimensional works that echo the impermanence and edge of graffiti. The Strangekiss Anarchy Black Cat Qee, standing with its anarchist stance and smirking defiance, remains one of the most striking examples of how artist-led toy design helped shape the direction of urban art in the early 2000s. This figure is not just a piece of vinyl; it is a sculpted narrative of anti-establishment ethos rendered through the lens of pop-infused graffiti expression.
