Saturday December 14, 2002
9am—5pm
Whittier Elks Lodge

(1 Block East of Painter)
Whittier, CA 90605
We’ve just learned that Coop will be appearing in person at the MOONEYES CHRISTMAS PARTY (formerly known as the Rat Fink Reunion).
Coop and Ruth will be on hand to meet and greet, and of course Coop will have copies of his new book THE BIG FAT ONE, in both the regular edition and also the super-sought-after and nearly impossible to get Limited Edition.
He’ll also have plenty of stickers, posters, copies of the regular and Limited Editions of The Devil’s Advocate, and lots of other goodies to stuff yer stockings....
Questions? Call Mooneyes at 562-944-6311.
This will be Coop’s ONLY signing left in 2002, so make sure you make it there!
COOP TV
Well it’s finally going to air—Coop’s been interviewed for an A&E special called CLEAVAGE (no surprises there!) and it’s set to premier on December 10 at 9pm Eastern time. They will re-run it throughout the month but we know
about this air time for sure.Tune in!
The Limited Sketchbook!
You didn’t think Coop would make a regular edition of THE BIG FAT ONE and leave you Serious Collectors without a Limited Edition, did you?
Well, fans, after much dockworker delay—Here They Are!
The Limited Edition BIG FAT ONE is a hardcover book and comes in a
super-swanky slipcase—it’s embossed purple suede, swingin’ daddy-o!Coop has limited the edition to 150 signed and numbered copies, which we don’t expect to last long, so get crackin’ if you want to see one of these babies in person.
If you miss out, don’t say we didn't warn you!
And not to toot our own horn or anything, but just like with Devil’s Advocate, Coopstuff is the only place to get the Limited Edition. So click on the link to visit the Aperient Press page to place your order.
They’re HERE!
Yes, kids, THE BIG FAT ONE has finally landed and been delivered to our VERY welcome warehouses!
All the pre-orders have shipped and we are fully stocked and ready for
action.
The books are AWESOME—so much better than any photo could express—so order now!

We hear what you’ve been thinking: that things have been pretty quiet around here lately....Well you’re WRONG!
Over the next few months there will be a veritable Cornucopia of Coop, flinging itself your way at the speed of light—or at least at the speed of your modem.
In AUGUST we will be receiving the first shipment of the new Coop STATIONERY SET from Dark Horse.
The set has 8 sheets of paper (4 different colors!), six envelopes and a nifty sticker sheet. The whole thing is then wrapped in a “belly band” and put in a cellophane package. Ooh-Fah! Click on the image above and take a gander at this vivid collection!
“Yes, but How could I afford such luxury,” you ask? Geez Louise! The whole set is only 5 bucks!
In OCTOBER—hold onto your girdles, ladies, because there will be A NEW COOP BOOK for you to snap up and hoard like toilet paper before the big Y2K crash!
“Too soon for another book,” you say? Well this one is completely different—it’s 1000 PAGES, nothing but sketches, all wrapped up in a nifty slipcase, and all for a meager $39.95. If Coop shat a brick, this would be what came out!
If you’d like to be notified when we they arrive, send an email and we will put you on our list.

AIGA NATIONAL DESIGN CONFERENCE 2002
Thursday, March 21—Saturday, March 23, 2002
Marriott Wardman Park Hotel, Washington, D.C.Coop will be on hand among the luminaries to voice his many and varied opinions on design issues.
Here is how the AIGA describes the event on their website:
Voice, More Than Ever It’s time for a conference that speaks directly to the issues facing designers today. “Voice,”AIGA’s ninth biennial National Design Conference has been rescheduled for late March 2002 to do just that. Come to Washington, D.C. in the spring and hear from culture-shaping critical thinkers and visual practitioners as they debate the moral, social and political dimensions in their work.
Be inspired by the passion and conviction of The Simpsons’ creator Matt Groening, ubercool designer Stefan Sagmeister, cult author Dave Eggers and socially-engaged artist Alfredo Jaar. Author, journalist and media guru Pete Hamill will be the keynote speaker, providing a contextual framework for the conference and Peabody Award-winning journalist John Hockenberry will moderate the fast and furious proceedings in the main stage arena.
Plus, you won’t want to miss more than 50 corporate exhibitors at the Design Fair, a bookstore/e-lounge with speaker book signings and a student conference and portfolio display.

YOU SNOOZE—YOU LOSE!
Sorry fans, but we have just received word that the last of the Route 66 Wrench Devil belt buckles has been sold. Those beauties were made in Australia exclusively for us but the manufacturer was forced to discontinue them and now they are gone.
And a word to the wise: Better hurry if you are interested in skate board decks, because we don’t know how many more of those will be made either.
Don’t miss out on these!
Flak Magazine’s
Coop Interview
Over the years, Coop has done zillions of interviews—so many in fact that he quit doing any for a while, just to get a break. But it’s a new year, so here, for your enjoyment, is an interview done in New York City USA, on September 10th, 2001, in a top floor office with a great view of the World Trade Center a mere three blocks away. Click on the link above to read this extensive discussion.
More Press Coverage!
Two—count ’em TWO—magazines (that we know of so far) are mentioning Coop’s book, The Devil’s Advocate.
Juxtapoz features an awesome review in their WORDS AND PICTURES review section (Coop and Ruth are also pictured on their BEAT DOWN pages),
and Paper gives us a holler in their February Valentine’s Day BOOTY CALL section.
Why not get ’em both?
Yes, Coop’s struck again...
this time on the cover of what’s being called the best men’s magazine EVER. Check out the inside of the magazine too, kids, where you can read all about famous Satanist Benjamin Franklin!
