Terry Cooper

Terry Cooper was born in London in 1969 and moved to the Welsh Valleys in 1980. After a brief period in the music industry with his band Best Shot, who supported East 17 on tour around the UK, Terry went back to his artistic roots and worked for various film and television companies. He has since graduated from the University of Glamorgan with a degree in Computer Animation. Terry released his first book Kangazang: Remote Possibilities in 2008 as the beginning of the now-complete Kangazang trilogy. It is also the book that led to the creation of publishing house Candy Jar books in Cardiff.

Terry is also a full time illustrator, having provided covers and interior illustrations for over 100 books and graphic novels.

During May 2012, Terry travelled to the Tunisian desert to restore Luke Skywalker’s homestead. He is currently finishing off his first feature film, Offworld, which he wrote and directed in 2017. He is now working on a second feature film entitled "Bloody Students". He has two children, a spacehopper, and even bigger plans.
