A dormant part of my childhood just woke up and slapped me in the face
lol ditto! Awe l remember all of this :-) Blast from the 90s...
I was more into Hello Kitty stationary.
Love Transmissions SAME
SAAMMMEE I even had her books!!
Same
Early 2000z babies got forced to go though this
Same. I had plenty of folders made by her ☺️
I love how she says that it was never about making money, but making good product.
Finally, a company that gets it
and having fun💗
Vivien Dunn you can tell she still has a lot of passion for this job
Vivien Dunn if only beauty gurus took after that
Eh, I’m pretty sure even she’d say that money still plays a huge importance. It is what drove her to the success she had from the 80’s to the early 2000’s. But from my first impression of her just now, and seeing her warehouse, portfolios, and how she talks…she is a moneymaker that gets it. She is one of the few businessmen that knows her audience, how to capitalize off of her audience, and alongside her fellows, met those demands with genuine heart and soul.
And I will say that even though I never got into the craze over her works back then as a young boy or even now, it is still a bit sad to not see her designs dominating the back to school section in stores anymore. It could be a generational thing since some of her style can be seen as sort of dated, so maybe the newer generations just aren’t into it, but nostalgia is a huge thing these days and I am willing to bet a huge nostalgic pull could occur with my generation.

This video is from 2015? lol
Charlie Tea Puppet Nugget • 38 years ago that got me💀

Midnight Star IT SCARED ME
Lol. I never thought about her art being influenced by drugs. That honestly never crossed my mind. Not even as an adult.
I totally had the bunny ballerina folder, btw. She’s just as I pictured her, even though I can’t see her face.
I had the ballerina bunnies, too!
Positive Echo I had the tiger one
Right? Thats super weird! I uh...have bought stuff designed by her in the past year....6 months...yesterday. Lol
Some artists take drugs for the hallucination so they can draw or for creative purposes
Positive Echo She's based in _very_ red CONservative Arizona. I bet she heard that a lot. I used to hear people say that about her because her artwork was so bright - and very rainbow. I still think people who thought that were _so_ stupid. I love her work.
She could be an ogre and she wouldn’t disappoint. I think it’s sweet I’m 35 now and she’s still keeping the mystery. It makes me feel like a kid again. I had the seal folder. That was my fav. Xoxo
Now my girls have had lisa Frank in their lives and i hope the art stays a staple.
Yes, growing up in the 90's was the best. Love Lisa Frank products.
donkæ
Me too! Just looking at that seal brings back memories.
(Ou-gær)
Search Lisa Frank face boom u got it
She's lowkey just like willy wonka
She just up and disappeared. If she camcame out with golden rainbow stickers to visit her studio I'd go crazy for them
The Willy Wonka of stationary, I love it
Willy wonka where they're not breaking certain health code violations
How
Mad hatter_bby the stuff she makes is also magical!
not gonna lie i thought it said “We found Anne Frank”
Bruh 😂😂
Uh... interesting pfp
Her bones?

Ikr? I personally don't like it because it doesn't fit my personal style, but I will admit, she does make it have a very nice asthetic, feels very kid like
After the guy that sells me LSD, of course.
Hahahaha... Kidding I am
@G B My reference you understanded... Proud of u I am, young Padawan.
True
This reminds me of those Lisa Frank coloring pages where the lines were made out of this black fuzzy material. Like I can’t be the only person who remembers those.
Oh man I remember loving those so much. Did I huge tiger one and it stayed on my wall for years
I still have one of mine from elementary school!!
I still have a penguin one of those I made!!
Fuzzy art, you can sometimes still find Lisa frank ones at the dollar store!! I have
I did a huge scrapple cuz i was 2 and its stuck
Who rembers being in grade 2 and having Lisa Frank folders?
Bruh I literally had in in 2nd grade idk what happened to it tho
I had one of those bags that you draw on with felt markers. It was a rainbow tiger and I carried it with me everywhere
Yeah I had the unicorn one with the rainbow and a hello kitty folder too
I remember having the notebooks lol
My sister had makeup box and I had a couple coloring books-
if you had ANYTHING with lisa frank's art on it, you were the coolest girl in class
I'm a demon though.
@@dr.romaniarchaman5426 ok
@@izzythetrashposter5710 yay I'm accepted!
My daughter had a few Lisa frank items here and there....she def had the folders..but she mainly loved my litl pet shop best, then onto sonic the hedge hog and then Pokemon everything. She was obsessed!!!!
I did... still didn’t help
Dear Lisa if you are reading the comments here. I think you have been found worthy by most of us. You inspired our childhood and brought Joy. Don't fear our judgment of who you are - we are seeking you to see great potential not a perfect god. Thank you for bringing bunnies, and kitty, puppies, pandas and unicorn to print in the colours of our imagination.
Absolutely agree💓
Im in tears. Yes Lisa I still love u you brought energy and color to my childhood. I'm happy that I'm able to introduce the same material to my child 20 years after. Because of your designs and your material she's considered unique.
You guys talking about Lisa Frank or Lisa Smith who is 2 replies above?
Sad thing is that the people they make these videos about mostly don’t even get to see these comments. So she prob won’t get to see this.
@@andreasroyoi2510 why would a comment about lisa smith be on a video about lisa frank
Goodness I remember getting the Lisa frank mega pack pencil set with the big fat erasers on the end from Costco every year. Begging my mother to splurge on one Lisa Frank folder and saving it for my favorite subject. I felt so cool.
You now that i colored in her coloring books
I still have those pencils!! And folders!
I still have the folder lol
Galaxy wolf queen
Wow cool. ✊
"What I'm not who they want me to be?" Girl, we love you because you're unapologetically YOU
Celine Reynolds she is mean to her employees and abuses them
radio.mp3 it was on the news and stuff like that.
radio.mp3 googled it and found this:
www.google.com/amp/s/jezebel.com/inside-the-rainbow-gulag-the-technicolor-rise-and-fall-1179495705/amp
so yes, unfortunately what Mindless says is true
@radio.mp3 @mindless @pumkin According to the article, it seems most of the toxicity and abuse stemmed from her (now ex) husband, James Green. Here's a quote from the article that @mindless posted,
"In 2005, 16 people who had worked for or with LFI in various capacities submitted sworn affidavits in a lawsuit brought against Green, attesting to his management style. Allegedly prone to fits of rage and loud, profanity-laden outbursts in which he would publicly berate people-including his then-wife Frank-Green was described as "abusive, arrogant and extremely difficult to work with." Several former employees witnessed Green throwing chairs and other objects in the office."
"I don't wanna disappoint anybody, what if I'm not who they want me to be?"
That's so sad that she'd think that, she made everyone around the world enjoy coloring and she's loved so much anywhere. I've loved her since I was 1 y/o
I still love me some Lisa Frank I always get pretty excited when I see her products in the store.
Same! Lol
I'm with you. I would buy it for myself, even now.
Taylor Strong I came across Lisa Frank stickers at the Dollar Tree not long ago and shrieked with delight! For a split second I thought what would I do with them though - then I bought 2 packs lol.
She reminds me of SIA, the eccentricity and the secrecy of identity
SIA hides her eyes because she wants to show off, and wants to have something like a signature look that people will remember. It's kinda like Neytirix and Kim Chi - both hide their faces (Ney wears a skull mask and Kim Chi wears extreme make-up, which is normal for her, because she's a drag queen, but those face-hiding elements make them recognizable)
She released a pic without her hair covering her face
Yeah except Sia hides her face cause she ugly as fuck
ashlyn
Your ass is behind a whole screen saying that, you’re probably ugly yourself.
Joanna Mysluk I remember I saw a video that she stated she did it to because of anxiety
*People worried that Lisa Frank is on drugs*
Me: I'll have what she's having
Edit: I do not condone drug use, no worries! I was just poking fun that I would like to have her art abilities
Satoshi Tajiri, creator of Pokemon, doesn't do drugs because he is a ambassador of Partnership for a Drug-free America
Miranda..dose me in too🤣😂🤣
Don’t do drugs, it’ll ruin your life. If you do drugs, it might not always end up good.
3:20 "It was never about making money. It was about making good product, and having fun".
Now that's something to pay attention to. Thank you Lisa Frank for creating these amazing products that I enjoyed during my childhood. ❤☺🐩
I was so obsessed with Lisa Frank stuff as a kid. All my school supplies were Lisa Frank. I hoarded stickers and stationery. I had diaries with the padlocks on them. Craft kits. So much stuff. Any kind of money I had went on Lisa Frank. Every time we went to walmart I would run my ass to the Lisa Frank section and marveled at everything. I wish I still had some of that stuff. The rainbow seal was probably my very favorite.
Me too🙃
I’m a seal
I used to be so jealous cuz it was for girls and I would like EDIT*Steal * stickers and put them in my books 📚 lmao on the inside so no one could see
Missy Minx Same!
I had a unicorn diary I actually wrote in as a kid. I didn't usually like to share my thoughts. Shame the lock was cheap plastic and my stepmom broke it open no problem. Disaster. I still have the keys though.
I had a Lisa frank seal binder that zipped up to hold everything in and I swore I was the baddest bitch in fourth grade. Thanks for the nostalgia. 💕💚
ME TOO!!!
Why isn't this longer? I want a full documentary.
Bro I'd wear ur lip gloss everyday in 2nd grade and no one could tell me nun. *THATS ON PERIOD* 😂😂😂😂

Everyone knew lisa Frank growing up...my friends and i had so much stuff ..im 37 and i still love the look of lisa Frank items 😊💛💙💜💚❤
Yes she's LEGEND
I am 37 also. I LOVED Lisa Frank!
I’m 11 and I have Lisa Frank stickers 😊😊
Sunkissed Showers LPS That is excellent!! I am glad to hear that kids today still appreciate the art of Lisa Frank. I will admit that at age 37, I also own Lisa Frank stickers. 😊😊😊
I want this lady to know she was a big part of my childhood.
From posters to coloring books etc.
Love this girl🥰

Who knew stationary would cause so many happy memories, huh?
I can’t wait until my kids get their very 1st Lisa Frank stuff! :D
Yeah.... about that.

president unicorn it was 3:18 (not that it matters)
I need that banana artwork plastered over everything I own.
Lisa Frank products were the epitome of the 90s must haves. Huge fan, still Stan!
i thought it was early 2010s?
@@izzythetrashposter5710 it started growing more around that area.
@@izzythetrashposter5710 nope, the company started in '79 and peaked in the late 90s. It's been dwindling since the 2000s
I remember Lisa Frank being all over stores like Walmart in the early 2000s. I had all kinds of Lisa Frank stuff.
This woman was my childhood and it broke my heart to hear her be afraid of not being enough on camera.
I'm sure there's pictures of her on Google!
it's just marketing. she showed her face in the 90s. i guess they needed to keep the brand separate from the artist for future licensing
This style needs to come back. Just like, scrunchies, fannypacks, checkered vans, all that stuff. They came back from the 80's and 90's
We all have the freedom to live the way we want! You can absolutely live and dress like it's the 80s/90s, there are people all over youtube who live like it's the 50s, etc - it's all up to you.
@@TheNDTeacher I know! And I do! I just wish more people would see this style as I see it because it's so unique!
BRING IT BACK YO BRING IT BRING IT BACK! IM IN...
If only she knew how monumental she was in my childhood.....I had Lisa Frank school supplies every year. The crazy thing is, I keep a calendar on my bedroom wall so naturally going into the new year (2017) it was time to get a new one. I went to the dollar tree and they had Lisa Frank calendars. Of course I had to have it. That little piece of nostalgia makes my day every time I look at it. The creepy part is.....why did this show up on my recommendations. Prior to this video I have not viewed anything on this phone pertaining to Lisa Frank 🤔
Because you are in a certain age group and gender group that might have been part of the craze.
I remember I had that bunny ballerina folder. That was one of my favorites. I was obsessed with the stickers and I would put the stickers on paper and draw backgrounds or added more characters. I grew up to be an artist. Thank you Lisa Frank :)
I loved that bunny ballerina character!
I'm 30 with kids of my own, and i still love her stickers and folders...
Make your kids love them!
SAME😁
Lisa Frank.... I'm 36 now..... And you have made such an impact on me and my childhood.... Everytime I find your goodies, I buy them because it brings a strong sence of warmth memories and security to my heart!!💜❤ Thank u
I remember back in the day my sister bought this beautiful notebook. I was so jealous cause it was the last one. Literally the child me remembers all the emotions again. Best products from the 90s and so forth
🤩😌
I had a Lisa Frank pink spiral notebook and it had a tiger on it, I loved that notebook so much!
I also had a pack of Lisa Frank stickers and I remember it had as ticker of the cat with a rainbow peppermint mint shaped head and rainbow hearts it also had rainbows and cupcakes! The list could go on but the point is I love Lisa Frank everything!
*sticker
Her:"What if I'm not what they want me to be?"
Me:"Stop living to please people and to meet their expectations! Do people live to please you?"
She's my whole childhood. I'm in 9th grade and I have 5 Lisa Frank notebooks for school
I'm 30 and she was very much a part of my childhood as well😆
Adorable personality to match an adorable art style. She's an icon.
Thank you for being you. You made my childhood so much brighter!
Me to
Aw this is cute wtf
“ It was never about making money, it was about making good product. “
One of the best lines I have ever heard.
Imagine getting to work with the legend that is LISA FRANK. 😍😍😍
When I was 3 I got a whole basket of Lisa frank stuff on Easter
cool. :o
Noa Bella that would've been amazing when I was that age xD
Noa Is trash omg same!
I'm goth and Lisa Frank is one of my favorite artists!
You're not much of a goth then
Giraffeman
Why conform entirely to a label?
:V
It's more fun to like lots of different things.
True that, I agree. It threw me off at first since those two things are quite the opposite from one another
Slowidash Achoo I'm pastel lolita goth meow >:3
TyErTQwEQ c Im gothic too i remember drawing in her coloring books as a kid now i draw cute drawing for people just to see them smile!
Lisa frank: doesn’t want to be on camera
Me: searches up Lisa frank faces
I think the thing is, she's like the singer, Sia. She doesn't show her face, because she doesn't want to be known for her looks, but for her art medium.
When I was a kid I used to be so obsessed with her artwork. Every school year I had to have some stationary with her artwork. I'm 24 now and I'd still by stationary with her art. It makes me nostalgic to know its still a thing

I had that exact 3 bunny ballerina school folder as a kid lol 1:54

So did I! That was a fun moment of recognition.
Me too!!!!
😂💁🏾
Same! 🙋🏻♀️
I lived for Lisa Frank school supplies as a kid!
This takes me back. Lisa Frank was such a huge part of my childhood. I had a huge box full of stickers, stationary, erasers, folders, etc. that I basically just collected. I refused to actually use any of it because I didn't want to ruin it.
the song at 3:07 sounds like training wheels by melanie martinez and it’s cute af 💕💕
I guess it does
I love Lisa frank stuff! My all time favorite was "hunter" the rainbow leopard.
I had that folder with the 3 bunny ballerinas!! 😍 takes me back!!! 🙌😁
Me too
Me three.
The bunnies! ❤
I had forgotten I had it until that shot and it was like a crazy wave of nostalgia!
That was my favourite one 🥰 I have a feeling I’ll have to search for it now and gift it to my three little girls 🥰
I used her glue stick as a chap stick when I was younger. I had big stupid
I remember doing that same thing, but with different glue sticks. I guess we just thought it would work on our lips if our parents wanted us to shut up 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I just found my old cat and unicorn lisa frank folders. I used to love her so much.
My aunt gave me a Lisa Frank unicorn sticker when I was 8 I got so excited I wore it on my cheek all day.
aww xD
I literally just stuck Lisa Frank stickers all over my work laptop. COME AT ME BRO
YUSSSSS! Lisa Frank rules. Embrace that inner child!!!
Ok glock or shotgun lol
I had that bunny ballerina folder for like 4 years😭 omg the memories
I SAID THE SAME THING BOUT THOSE 3 BUNNIES!!!
crazy how one picture can bring back your childhood like that!
HisQueen420 right!! Love it!
The bunny one just transported me back to 4th grade! I remember it so well! So many Lisa Frank folders, so much time spent in class tracing them onto notebook paper:) Loved seeing this and love that she is doing well! 💚💙💜
This lady made my childhood. Even now, in my 20s, if I see a Lisa Frank item, I get the gotta buy urge. And hey, sometimes I indulge
Same😄
Amazon- 1700 sticker book for $3!
I was so obsessed with lisa Frank! I bought everything from the lisa Frank boxes, coloring books, the big lipstick, folders and anything you can think of! Thank you lisa Frank for making my childhood amazing 💕💕💕💕🌸
I used to have a Lisa Frank coloring book with two adorable puppies as the theme...the nostalgia
Awww such a nostalgic moment! Thank you Lisa Frank for making us feel so cool during our school years. It was the best thing to show up to school with anything that you made!! ❤️
Gosh! Good vibes. My son LOVED Lisa Frank stickers and other stuff. He’s 31 now! So he grew up with her. Love her.

Can I get a picture of it:)))))
Lisa Frank has been a part of my life for so long. I started using her products in kindergarten and I’m still using them as I’m about to enter college! Forever a fan
This woman influenced my childhood more than she will ever know. I honestly had waves of nostalgia and tears take over me towards the end because such a chunk of my life and growing up was surrounded by her wonderful products. My beloved sticker book is still tucked away in my memory box. Thanks Lisa ❤
She's the purest woman ever omg
I had a Lisa frank lunchbox, journal when I was 12 and I was so happy that I had it. Now I'm 17 and I miss having Lisa frank supplies and I want more
Thank you Lisa Frank for all the beautiful colorful designs of your art!!!!! Love you!!!
Wow, I remember all this! It’s like a forgotten part of my childhood that I’ve remembered!

You brought me so much happiness and joy. You shine beautiful light into this cold, dark, and cruel world we live in. Thanks for sharing your beautiful rainbow of art! 😘🌈😊
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!!
2 generations of Frank fans and counting!
Probably the best part of my childhood.
my mom and brother used to work at her warehouse there. she even had my brother n some other employees go to her house and help move stuff..he said she was a little...eccentric lol
I’m not disappointed at ALL, Lisa frank is amazinggg and I love her
LOVE lisa Frank! Only have good memories. I remember having those folders! I felt so special. 💞
She's the reason why i was so into art at an early age, love her sooo muchh
wow literally my who child hood lol she is the walt disney of school supplies...lol the Versace of stickers lmao... if you had Lisa Frank you was poppin! lol
gosh, seeing those images made me feel so nostalgic in a powerful and wonderful way! I love it.
i love lisa frank and everything she created. you made everything more special
Living in Tucson and actually driving by the Lisa Frank building to go to the mall was awesome! I haven’t driven by in years but she was the best part of our childhood and when she made a collaboration for makeup brushes, everyone was soooo excited!!!
This is amazing. We bought so many Lisa Frank folders during my earlier school years.
I love lisa frank , I loved the stickers and notebooks as a kid.
She seems like an absolute sweetheart and beautiful soul.
I’m 18 and still love her art. Always loved bright and fun colors.
When done right like this, bright colors can be beautiful to look at and flow together wonderfully! I hope Lisa Frank will continue on forever or at least be remembered for years and years to come
She sounds like Ethan's mum from H3h3
Imani S. H. true
Maybe that's why she didn't want to show her face... conspiracy...
Anna Reynolds it's also pretty uncanny how similar her figure is to Ethan's Mum. #h3h3conspiracymustnotskip
that's exactly what I was thinking!
That's what I was thinking the entire time! And her build is similar too!
Lisa Frank is my childhood. I loved the bright colors amd rainbows (also the cute animals). Never knew she was a Tucsonian. If you read this Lisa you're the best! Keep on keeing on! ❤💙💚💛💜
All of my school supplies HAD to be Lisa Frank! I loved the feel of the plastic backpacks and pencil cases. Thank you Lisa! Your work still makes me smile 😊💕🌈
Thank you for this. I mean it. I've always wondered since childhood. My first was a Lisa Frank individual stickers, then the erasers, then the tiger cub folder and then the swimming dolphins binder. She was a HUGE part of why I began to draw for fun. Lisa, girl, you did not disappoint. Your personality is exactly what my little mind at the time thought it would be.
My literal childhood
She should keep going bc I don’t see Lisa frank anymore 😭😭
I loved Lisa Frank SOO much as a kid! Oh my gosh! Thank you for this video 😀♥️
She sounds like such a sweet person..I wish she didnt care about what people think. But still love her work..made my childhood so bright, exciting, and full of wonder :)
