As an art student at Orange Coast College in the ‘90’s, Paul Frank used some spare orange vinyl to create a wallet. When friends expressed an interest, Frank began to sew guitar straps and backpacks. He eventually formed Paul Frank Industries in order to keep up with the demand for his products, and today, the company has stores in LA, San Francisco, NYC, Vegas, Chicago, London, Amsterdam, Berlin, and Bangkok.
Paul Frank’s influences range from The Who and The Rolling Stones to classic industrial design. His bold, graphic characters, such as Julian, are wildly popular, appearing on everything from teenage gear to Eric Pfeiffer’s pieces for 10 Grain. He has also collaborated with such bands as Bad Religion, Radiohead, The Vandals, Alkaline Trio, Atreyu, Tool, Gorilla Biscuits, The Aquabats, and Pretty Girls Make Graves, as well as the Coachella festival and Lollapalooza. He has also collaborated with Elvis Presley and Andy Warhol, and companies like Mattel, Oscar Mayer, John Deere, Hello Kitty, and Lego.
