Having earned his BFA in communication design from Pratt Institute in 2000, Cooper had an initial foray into editorial illustration with Steven Heller at The New York Times Book Review and then shifted into publishing, working as photo editor and then photo director at <em>Parents<\/em> magazine, <em>Siemper Mujer<\/em> magazine and <em>Health<\/em> magazine until the latter\u2019s closure in 2021. \u201cThroughout this time, I never stopped illustrating, so this unexpected change enabled me to focus on it full time,\u201d he explains. Now, he finds that he can focus on creating work that expresses his values, a facet to which he attributes his recent illustrations\u2019 profound depth and emotionality. \u201cI truly believe that, beyond the necessity of making a living, the subjects I work on must engage my passion,\u201d Cooper says. \u201cGiven the opportunities I\u2019ve been fortunate enough to have, I aspire to create work that inspires, encourages dialogue and raises awareness about social issues. For me, client-based commercial illustration doesn\u2019t have to lack warmth; it can be a balance of client needs and personal reflection of culture and identity.\u201d Alongside his freelance illustration career, Cooper is a\u00a0visiting instructor at the Fashion Institute of Technology, Pratt and the School of Visual Arts. \u201cI really love sharing my experience with my students and helping them develop their ideas and voices in illustration,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<h3>Browse Projects<\/h3>\n<p>Click on an image to view more from each project<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For New York\u2013based artist David Cooper, freelance illustration represents an opportunity to expand his mind and sate his natural curiosity. \u201cI\u2019ll usually go beyond the manuscript and dedicate significant time to visual research and reading, seeking a deeper understanding of the subject,\u201d he says.
