Poster Boy

by Coop

POSTER BOY is going to be huge (literally!) 11' x 14", 312 pages, this new book will focus on all of my rock and roll related work - gig posters, flyers, record covers and everything else associated with the last 40 YEARS (you read that right) that I've been making art.

The larger format was chosen to really show off the 250+ silkscreen prints that I've done over the years, with almost every one given a full page. We've shot new hi resolution photos of all the prints from my personal archive, and I think they're gonna look better in print than they ever have before!

For fans of his iconic devil character, to his tour posters and other unmistakable artwork, this book is a career retrospective for the generational artist Coop, and is recommended for mature readers.

#About

POSTER BOY is Coop's first art book release in 15 years! For fans of Coop's work who have been starved of a collection, this book is a career retrospective of Coop's 40 year run as the premiere "Lowbrow" artist in the space. The contents of the book have been carefully selected and curated by Coop, who is also re-scanning every single image that is in this book to the highest quality and resolution possible, so that his fans can experience his art without missing a single stroke of detail.

Images, art, process work, sketches, and even commentary with other text to shed some light on Coop's art and experiences are all included in this tremendous tome of work. It is not only a love letter to his fans, but to hot rods, skate culture, punk rock, pin-ups, and of course, his iconic Devil and Devil Women characters.

He's a legend of the underground. His artwork is unmistakeable. And now, he's running his first ever crowdfunding campaign! Your support and love for Coop's art has been so greatly appreciated for the past 40 years, and we thank you for being a part of this incredible campaign!

#Bio

Coop (Chris Cooper) is an American illustrator and hot rod artist from Austin, Texas. 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. Coop has designed posters for rock bands such as Boss Hog, White Zombie, and Rocket from the Crypt, as well as for the Reverend Horton Heat, Lords of Acid, MxPx, Green Day, Nirvana, Soundgarden and Foo Fighters. Coop has illustrated the album cover artwork for Lords of Acid's 1994 album Voodoo-U, NOFX's 1995 album I Heard They Suck Live!!, Boyd Rice's 1995 album Hatesville!, The Ramones' 1997 album We're Outta Here!, and various others. Coop has also provided cover art for numerous releases on the independent record labels Sympathy for the Record Industry and Reptilian Records and has designed the logo and most of the band merchandise for the novelty rock band The Go-Nuts.

#Timeline

The print files for the book will be finished as the campaign is wrapping up, so the book printing should begin within 2 months after the campaign is over. It should take another 3 months after that for the books to make their way to the fulfillment center, so delivery of rewards is expected to be done in March 2027.

Zoop will always be here to communicate with supporters should any delays occur, if there’s confusion about delivery, or if any other concerns pop up.

Frequently asked questions

Yes! We encourage you to get more than 1 item! That could be multiple copies of the same reward, or you can mix and match rewards! There is no limit, unless otherwise stated in the reward description.

Our campaigns are for a worldwide audience unless stated otherwise in the campaign. All international orders are sold with the terms DAP (Delivered At Place). You are responsible for any duties and taxes required for the shipment's entry into your country. Our carriers may require you to pay taxes and fees related to importation and customs brokerage of your shipment -- but if your item is really low in value, it may fall under the customs de minimis of most countries. For more information, please contact USPS

Zoop does not store or keep your credit card info. Stripe simply holds the credit card info until the end of a successful campaign and then charges it. It is strictly for this one time use and won't charge it ever again.

You can either access the transaction through your account and click the cancel button, or contact us at hello@wearezoop.com and we'll cancel it for you and send back a confirmation email.

 

Cancellations of rewards or add-ons of $500 or more must be made before there are 72 hours left in the campaign. The reason for this is it can have a negative effect on the tally of the campaign. If it is a limited reward or add-on, there may not be sufficient time for someone else to purchase it, leaving the campaign possibly not funded. We ask for your courtesy of the people running the campaign when making these decisions.

Please use the notes section in the last checkout step or you could e-mail us at hello@wearezoop.com with that info during the campaign if you'd like to get it out of the way. Otherwise, we'll be reaching out to all supporters of rewards that require feedback shortly after the campaign is over.

If you want to make changes, you should first cancel your original order and then start over with a new one. If you don't do that and simply process an additional order, the way our system is currently set up you may end up being overcharged for shipping -- which we could remedy for you, but it just takes that extra step of catching it and crediting you back the extra shipping, so please try the prior way first.

Rewards are the priority items that the creators have chosen for the campaign. Add-Ons are meant to be secondary items that are 'unlocked' after you buy something from the Reward level. There are no restrictions on buying Rewards, but you can only buy Add-Ons if you've bought a Reward. Zoop sets this up under the direction of the creators. Some may choose to only have Rewards, some may choose an even balance of Rewards and Add-Ons, and others may choose to only have one or two Rewards with the rest of the items being Add-Ons.

Since we have an a la carte rewards system, shipping rates will vary from supporter to supporter. We use a weight-based calculation system in your checkout cart, though, so, after you enter your country, you'll be able to see it calculated in real time with each item you add.

No - this is it! We're essentially your in-campaign pledge manager. If you are interested in supporting these creators, this is the time to do it!  And it's the exact reason we allow you to purchase as many rewards as you want during the campaign!
