Dave Cooper

David Charles Cooper's critically acclaimed comics with Fantagraphics have garnered multiple Harvey, Eisner and Ignatz Awards, and Cooper himself has won an award from New York’s Society of Illustrators. These days Cooper spends most of his time making huge oil paintings for private collectors, and gallery shows in (primarily) Los Angeles and New York. He also creates kid's books under a pseudonym. He lives in Canada with his wife and two children.
