Meet the Mind Behind Mimi Wobbly: Dave Cooper
Dave Cooper is a Canadian artist whose surreal, emotionally charged characters and warped visual storytelling have earned him a cult following across the worlds of comics, animation, and fine art. With a career spanning over two decades, Cooper’s work dances between the grotesque and the beautiful, populated by exaggerated forms, intimate psychological themes, and a color palette that’s both luscious and unsettling.
From his early days creating underground comics like Weasel and Crumple, to his later collaborations with studios like Nickelodeon (Pig Goat Banana Cricket) and his respected oil paintings exhibited worldwide, Cooper has always blurred the lines between high and low art. His unique aesthetic is instantly recognizable: lush curves, anxious expressions, and characters that feel tender, flawed, and deeply human, even when they're not quite human.
Now, with the release of "Mimi Wobbly", Dave Cooper brings one of his signature creations into the realm of collectibles. Sculpted with the same loving strangeness that defines his 2D work, Mimi is a wobbly-limbed, wide-eyed oddity, part toy, part sculpture, and all Dave. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Cooper’s bizarre and beautiful universe, Mimi Wobbly is a must-have for collectors of the wonderfully weird.
