Dave Cooper is a comics artist, animator, and oil painter whose graphic novels and monographs have included admiring introductions from the likes of comedian David Cross and filmmakers Guillermo del Toro and David Cronenberg.
His paintings and drawings have found homes with influential collectors and Hollywood celebrities. One writer said of Dave's book collection Bent: “Everything in this world seems to be undulating and overripe ― the multi-colored Jell-O vegetation, the billowing clouds, and the twitching, agitated women.”
On a break during his tour of the Pacific Northwest, Dave sits down with S.W. Conser to talk about surrealism, Hieronymus Bosch, children's books, adult cartoons, impossible anatomy, and the Canadian independent comics scene.
