artist & photographer & general malcontent since 1968
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.
