Frank is "notoriously elusive and private." [9] In a 2012 interview video with Urban Outfitters, the company agreed to obscure her face. [13] Bent, Gala. "Interview With Cindy Hinant". Asthmatic Kitty Records. Archived from the original on November 29, 2014 . Retrieved November 19, 2014.

There, the company stored copies of everything it had ever made, plus the original artwork that was done before computers. Known as The Library, it held thousands of products. “I think we made so many products because I get bored easily,” Frank told Urban Outfitters. “So as soon as we would master a category, I would want to do a different category. I'm trying to think what we HAVEN'T done. There is hardly something we haven't really done.” 17. At one point, there was a Lisa Frank app. In her chat with Urban Outfitters, Frank did offer a sliver of insight into her personal life by revealing that she has two sons, who each served as inspiration for her big kitten creations Hunter and Forrest. "Well, my two favorite characters are Hunter and Forrest, who are based off my kids," she explained. "Forrest is based on my 13-year-old, and Hunter is a 17-year-old character who was named the day Hunter was born. We had created both characters before the boys were born, and then when they were born, we thought, 'Oh my gosh, they really do fit their personalities!'" The collection, which blended the two ‘90s pop culture behemoths—the t-shirt featured Ross and Rachel alongside Frank's iconic aliens, while the sweat pants featured the logos for each brand along with Frank's designs—was available for just a single day. 14. Lisa Frank also collaborated with Ed Hardy.

Frank's father was an art collector and introduced her to the work of such Pop Art artists as Peter Max. [1] Frank is a 1972 graduate of the Cranbrook Kingswood School, [2] a preparatory school in Bloomfield Hills, Michigan. [1] Work [ edit ] In college I had to support myself. So, in the beginning, I went to the Indian reservations. I would sell their art and jewelry. I still have a big Native American art collection because of that fact. Jumping ahead, I would later tell them what to make and realized that everything I told them, versus what they wanted to make on their own, sold. A light bulb went on. I thought, “Oh, I guess I have a really commercial sense.” Lisa Frank (born April 21, 1955) is an American businesswoman, the founder of Lisa Frank Incorporated, headquartered in Tucson, Arizona. She is known for producing whimsical commercial design for school supplies and other products that are primarily marketed to children.

All acrylic on Masonite and canvas. I would sometimes use paper on Masonite for texture. Everything was very colorful. She also appeared on the cover of the company’s fan magazine, Lisa and Me, in 1997. 12. There’s Lisa Frank clothing.

Many Lisa Frank fans said they were ecstatic about the collection

As Lisa Frank herself once described her living aesthetic (via Gawker), "My house really is purple and yellow and hot pink and light green and orange." Rondi Kutz, who worked as head designer for Lisa Frank for 15 years confirmed as much in her interview with Hello Giggles, saying, "Lisa IS her brand! She lives, breathes, and quite possibly eats colors. Her house was/is purple. She wears the most awesome shoes — usually with super platforms — and unique designer clothes. She is teeny tiny, with a personality about a million times bigger than she is physically. Lisa radiates creativity along with extreme business savvy. She is one sharp and colorful cookie!" The artwork was a collaborative effort, but it all began with me putting it on paper as a marker rendering,” Kutz told HelloGiggles. “The concepts came from Lisa, James (her husband), or me, so I can say that some of the characters were my idea and original design. But by the time it went to an illustrator to redraw it, adding detail, then to the computer artist who rendered it on the computer (which entailed hundreds of hours of work), it had many artists’ stamps on it.”
