Coop's 16 Things' thing! 

I was asked to participate in this "16 Things' thing, but I've only come up with twelve so far. maybe I'll become more interesting later, and come up with the last four. Added!

1. I'm allergic to garlic. I love eating it, but I developed the allergy about ten years ago, and I can't touch the stuff without suffering severe gastric distress. Bummer.

2. I am a frustrated musician. I have been completely obsessed with music my whole life, and yet I have not a single scrap of musical ability. Also a bummer.

3. I hate cold weather, one of the many reasons I live in Southern California. When people talk about missing the seasons and snow, I look at them like they are insane. And they are, you know.

4. I am a libertarian, but not a member of the Libertarian party. This gets me out of lots of boring political arguments, since I pretty much despise all politicians regardless of party affiliation. Throw ALL the bums out.

5. All of my creative endeavors have become very ritualistic, almost to the point of OCD. Ritual is an important part of the process for me, a way to focus on my work.

6. I was diagnosed with color-blindness as a kid, but twenty years of working as an artist seems to have cured it, or at least re-routed around the damage.

7. I don't believe in god or the afterlife, but I'm not an asshole about it. If you wanna believe in all that stuff, it's okay with me.

8. I like to drive aimlessly at night, preferably with the windows down and while listening to AM radio. L.A. is an excellent location for this activity.

9. I was in NYC on 9/11. We were in town for an art show, and almost went to the bar at the top of the towers the night before! We couldn't fly out afterwards, and had to drive a rental car cross-country to get back to L.A.

10. I have just about 700 gigs of mp3s in my iTunes library, over 120,000 songs, and I still haven't digitized any of my vinyl.

11. Stuffed animals are incredibly depressing to me, for some odd reason. They really bum me out.

12. One book that everyone should read: "The Magic Christian" by Terry Southern.

13. My all-time favorite movie is either Mike Leigh's Topsy Turvy, or Fellini's La Dolce Vita.

14. i have a beautiful Italian two-sheet for La Dolce Vita, for which I had to pay more than the original asking price after Johnny Ramone walked into Hollywood Book & Poster and told the owner he wasn't charging enough for it.

15.I have beautiful feet.

16. I used to think that scotch was foul, but now it is my favorite thing to drink. With age comes wisdom.

Hey Read Up On The Coolest Cat Around! 

The Artist Coop

Coop - aka Chris Cooper - Born in Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1968.

Coop finished high school, skipped art school, and arrived in Los Angeles in the late 80's where he immediately got to work subverting the mainstream. Chances are good you've seen some manifestation of his merchandising juggernaut: smoking devils, devil-girls, hotrods, space aliens or monsters on posters, t-shirts, hats, stickers, stationery sets, skate boards, toys, shot glasses, Zippo lighters, and so much more.

He's done roughly 100 posters, including rock posters for Nirvana, Soundgarden, The Sex Pistols and many others, and album cover art for everyone from the Monomen to the Ramones.

The first edition of The Devil's Advocate, his full-color book was released to an immediate sellout in November 2001, and went immediately into continuous reprint. Coop's second book, THE BIG FAT ONE, a 1008-page sketchbook, was released in October 2002. According to Juxtapoz Magazine, Coop's name is "now more recognizable to modern youth than that of Rembrandt."

He cites Robert Williams, R. Crumb and Eric Stanton as some of his favorites and great influences, in addition to Big Daddy Roth, Irving Klaw, Wally Wood, Gil Elvgren, and a host of other degenerates.

Cleveland's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame houses two of Coop's posters in its permanent collection. He was also commissioned to customize an Escalade and design a run of limited edition gambling chips for the Hard Rock Casino in Las Vegas.

Coop's first solo exhibition was in Los Angeles in 1993, and since then his artwork has been shown throughout the world. View his full resume here.

In 2007, following a car accident that broke his leg and kept him from painting for months, Coop rekindled his lifelong interest in photography. To date he has more than 20,000 images posted on Flickr, and is in the process of collecting photos for a new book.

The follow-up collection to Devil's Advocate is also in the works, as Coop never stops creating.

Coop and Ruth make their home in Los Angeles.

***
"Coop's vision, custom built for speed desire, flaming and fetishist, is the quintessence of Southern California car culture distilled through punk rock aggression and grunge angst." -C-Pop gallery

"The icons he has made his own bear witness to both his artistic skill and savvy marketing. The work is accessible, instantly identifiable and so informed that it also serves as a virtual catalogue of pop culture from the 1930s through the mid-1960s." -CR Stecyk III, interview for Juxtapoz Magazine

"What Coop seems to know better than most in this culture of denial, is the potency of seemingly empty and quotidian signs to provoke - how the subliminal lingua of subversion can work simultaneously with the sanctioned language of seduction. He knows how to tap into our psychic primordial pop-ooze of horror, vulgarity, and degeneration, and then how to wrap it all up in the sweetest sugar-coated confections of tasty tease." - Carlo McCormick, from his introduction to Devil's Advocate, the Art of Coop.
