Description
Coop (real name Chris Cooper) is a hot rod artist working from Los Angeles. He was born in Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1968, and describes his occupation as “Insensitive Artiste.” His work consists primarily of barely clothed or nude Bettie Page-style 1950s soft pornography and B-movie monsters, with the female characters often taking the role of “Devil-Women”. The image most often associated with his work however is the face of a grinning devil with a smoking cigar clamped in its teeth.
In 1991, pop artist Frank Kozik convinced Coop to expand into poster art.[1] Coop has designed posters for rock bands such as Boss Hog, White Zombie, and Rocket from the Crypt,[1] as well as for the Reverend Horton Heat, Lords of Acid, MxPx, Green Day, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Foo Fighters. Coop has also provided art for several Sympathy for the Record Industry releases.
Coop is an avid hot rod enthusiast and well known amongst the Kustom Kulture community. He makes an annual appearance at the Mooneyes Xmas party.
