Like many young girls growing up in the U.S. between the years of 1990-2000, I fell into the trap that is Lisa Frank. The out of this world designs, the use of every color in the spectrum, the need to have all the stickers, trapper keepers, notebooks and folders money could buy! I wanted it all!
But looking back, and taking a deeper look into the Lisa Frank portfolio, I’ve noticed that these are some pretty trippy designs – like I wouldn’t be surprised if Lisa herself was on shrooms or something while coming up with this stuff. Yet all of it was genius, and she made millions – and is still making millions – on a new generation of kids eating this stuff up, and the generation like ours, just looking for a sense of nostalgia.
Here are just some of designs that upon further inspection, are actually disturbing, politically incorrect, or just ridiculously weird.
The watermelon is wearing a bikini, yet her insides are still showing.
Aliens need love and platform shoes too.
My cats hang out in my pink high tops all the time too.
#Equality
Were insects a thing that girls were into? Like they’re not even cartoony.
A cute cat angel or Lisa Frank’s subtle message about life after death?
Jaws on acid.
Bitch, I’m fabulous.
Just because they’re golden labs playing in their own sandcastle doesn’t mean they’re American. Check out the flag, racists. Viva Mexico!
Bears can’t do splits.
Just… everything about this gypsy pig is disturbing.
This polar bear is getting a little too close to the Eskimo chick for my liking.
And now she’s with the husky? Polar bear is on to you, son.
Just explain this one to me.
No comment.

Lisa Frank 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.
Early life[edit]
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]
Frank is the founder and CEO of Lisa Frank Incorporated.[3] After moving from the Detroit, Michigan, area to Tucson Arizona, in the 1970s to study art at the University of Arizona, she founded the children's jewelry company Sticky Fingers, which became Lisa Frank Inc. circa 1979 when she was 24.[4][5] She continues to lead it as of 2019. Her corporation's artwork features rainbow and neon colors and stylized depictions of animals, including dolphins, pandas, and unicorns. In the 1980s and 1990s, her products – including school supplies such as lunchboxes and Trapper Keepers, as well as toys and stickers[6] – were popular among elementary and middle school-aged girls.[7] The company's headquarters is in Tucson, Arizona.[8] The company no longer produces its own products and as of at least 2018 licenses its name to smaller companies.[9]
In 2011, she launched a colorful line of clothing.[7]
Collaborations[edit]
Frank partnered with Reebok to release two versions of limited-release Reebok Classic Leathers shoes in 2017.[10]
In 2017, Frank was partnering with producer Jon Shestack to develop a movie inspired by her work.[11]
In 2019, Frank designed the logo for John Mayer's Instagram television series, Current Mood.[citation needed]

Personal life[edit]
Frank is 'notoriously elusive and private.'[9] In a 2012 interview video with Urban Outfitters, the company agreed to obscure her face.[12]
In 1994, Frank married James A. Green, who from 1990 to October 2005 was president and chief executive officer of Lisa Frank Incorporated. She filed for divorce in September 2005. That same month, she sued to remove Green from the company, and he resigned the following month.[13] The court agreed to assign control of the company to Lisa Frank.[14]
