Experience a spectacular, production-packed blockbuster look into legendary lowbrow and alternative art history! Idle Hands: The Art of COOP Hardcover delivers a massive, comprehensive visual showcase capturing the iconic creator's foundational tenure and evolution as a fine artist over a defining decade.
Last Gasp's premier archival line offers heavy-duty, premium, and meticulously curated volumes that collect raw artistic triumphs. Moving decisively past simple graphic illustrations, this essential monograph takes you deep undercover on a high-stakes counter-culture, pop-surrealism, and hot-rod iconography hunt. Read along as the master painter traces his creative lineage across giant formats, clashing brutally through complex acrylic textures, bold graphic shapes, and devilish details to secure a flawless historic archive before the book hits your private collection.
Key Production Highlights:
  • The Fine Artist Metamorphosis: Follow the brilliant transition from underground commercial poster work to large-scale canvas layouts on a breathless journey detailing everything the artist loves about raw, lowbrow pop-culture expression.
  • The Bold Re-Contextualized Iconography: Watch the visionary designer deploy on a brutal, investigative tactical mission, pulling apart individual visual components of his famous smoking devils and pin-up girls to reassemble them into a cohesive fine-art canvas.
  • The Side-by-Side Gallery Blueprint: Witness the lethal combination of historic career-defining imagery presented alongside a healthy dose of unreleased studio surprises, early sketch variations, and brilliant close-up canvas textures.
This incredible, heavy-duty book is an absolute crown-jewel library centerpiece addition for modern counter-culture completionists, alternative pop art historians, and sequential art instructors looking to study master-level character drafting, stark outline composition, and industry-defining underground print layouts by the legendary Chris "COOP" Cooper.
