Collection: Kevin Cooper
Alongside a 30 year career of spraying graphics on surfboards and a period of time as a qualified graphic designer, I also enjoy art and photography. Having been involved with surfing from a young age, I often gravitate towards it as the theme of my work, as well as having a good supply of inspiration in the form of surfing media and images found from working in surfboard factories around Cornwall and overseas.
I combine techniques learnt and practised over the years in my work with surfboard graphics, design and photography. I use my own photographs or source images from old books or magazines. I then draw the subject matter with ink pens, before layering up colour and text to create final pieces to go to print.
