Client Christopher Cooper Sector Drinks Expert|Presenter Discipline Illustration|Film Prop|Artwork|Apparel  Liquid nerd, taste geek, vinous poindexter and all-round drinks polymath, British born Christopher Cooper is a real life supertaster; broadcasting on all tastebud frequencies his olfactory perception, expertise and inside knowledge on all things drinks. As the UK’s most innovative, up-and-coming drinks broadcaster; Cooper's commentary, craft and palate are causing a real stir. Breaking down esoteric oenology into palatable sip-sized slurps, Christopher’s skill is in connecting his liquid world directly to the culture of the modern Briton. Through his easy-going, engaging kinetic and vibrant presentation style he uses his deep thinking intelligence to blur the lines between taste, dialogue, philosophy and art in an unusually accessible ‘street’ kind of a way… rethinking everyone’s drinking. As part of a brief to create a strong visual identity across website, photography and a brand film, a series of props were commissioned comprising ‘Ace of Spades – Art!’. Taking the cues from Roy Lichtenstein’s ‘Whaam!’, an appropriation of DC Comics’ 'All-American Men of War' issue, ‘Ace of Spades – Art!’ transforms Lichtenstein’s original masterpiece by replacing the American fighter plane firing at the enemy with the popping cork of Jay Z’s, Ace of Spades Champagne. The resulting updated artwork reinforces the production’s core message, that ‘wine is consumable art’. Whilst the ‘Ace of Spades – Art!’ was omitted from the final cut, it has been re-purposed as a social media clip. Post-production, it lives on within a frame was also reassigned as a one-off t-shirt design for Christopher Cooper. This energetic ‘Ace of Spades - Art!’ edition print is now available to purchase, for edition information, dimensions and prices please complete the contact form on the home page.
