By twenty-one, he had begun an eclectic art career as an illustrator, cover designer, creator of type fonts, CD covers, letterheads, and author of many books relating to the graphic arts. His client list is equally wide ranging from Time, Fortune, Business Week, Esquire, Rolling Stone, GQ, Playboy, and National Lampoon, to CBS/Sony Music, Atlantic Records, RCA Records, Sony America, Nintendo, Pepsi Cola, American Express, Cinemax, HBO, Nickelodeon, MTV, and Tri-Star Entertainment.

G. Cooper, published in 1997, and several books of Clip Art of the 1920s-1950s.
