      <p>Sorry to have to do this, but I am disabling the comment function on this blog. It attracts spammers who leave ads for ringtones and porn and other crap that has nothing to do with my art. If you're an actual human who would like to comment on, or inquire about my paintings, just drop me an email. My address is at the bottom of my profile to the right.</p>

    <p class="profile-textblock"><saddlesmall.jpg>I can remember the moment in my life that defined me as an artist. I was five years old and sat on the floor of my room, drawing on a chalkboard. I drew a boy with striped socks, and knew that it was good. In grammar school and junior high, my idea of a good time was walking to Continental Art Supply on Reseda Blvd. and adding to my collection of Speedball pens.
After graduating high school with honors in art, I attended The Academy of Art College in San Francisco.
<p>
Most of my adult working career has been in various forms of commercial art; Graphic design, illustration, cartooning, animation. Since 1990 I've been Senior Graphic Designer and Illustrator for a major medical device manufacturer.
<p>
In the mid 90’s, aspects of my commercial art began to evolve into pen & ink portraits, and then experiments with blended graphite. 
<p>
The beginning of the 21st century saw Todd Cooper reverting to the methods and materials of the 19th century, and a newly refound passion...oil paint! 
<p>
I am Art Editor for The Mountain Yodeler, a local monthly newspaper, as well as founder and twice president of the Lakes & Valleys Art Guild.
