 Coop inspiration? I'm sure it's been talked about somewhere before but I can't find anything.

Re: Coop inspiration? That inspired many people.
I mean the comic.
Robert Williams dude! It's the source of all the Juxt-a-tude.
I do remember telling him in the early 90's he should make toys and he scoffed at me.

Re: Coop inspiration? ahh, makes more sense now, I was having a hard time interpreting the artists name on the comic. I was wondering who Ross Williams was.

Re: Coop inspiration? It goes back further than that - actually, both of us are ripping off the old Impko devil decals from the forties-fifties.

Re: Coop inspiration? Somewhere, I have a copy (bought at Psychedelic Solution in NYC back in the early 90's) of a Williams poster entitled "Beamin' Gleamer in "Flash In The Pan"", a typically twisted Williams id-scape rendered completely in that faux-chrome thing he does. It's stupendous.

Re: Coop inspiration? I remember this dude Phil who was a stoner, scenester dude in the underground music circles of nyc in the late 80s. He had some original Robert Williams paintings on his wall and I think I must have stared at them for hours every time I went to his apartment. I still remember that awe like I was staring into a Picasso or something.

Re: Coop inspiration? I think Anthony Keidis of the peppers owns a bunch as well as Long Gone John.
I saw them collected in LA at a show in the 90's called "Helter Skelter" and the whole show brought me to tears. I went back like 3 times.
Still one of the most amazing exhibits I've ever seen.

Re: Coop inspiration? That is a great painting, the linework is so clean. I wish you still did SDCC like you used to, but I imagine all the hassle with what it's become now make it not worth the trouble.

Re: Coop inspiration? I have an original Coop in my living room. My girlfriend's dad walked by one day, saw it and said "That drawing looks like your sister".

I would love to know your half tone secret, I think I saw a photo of you painting them all individually once...
Anyways, amazing piece o' art.
