{"title":"Arik Roper","description":"\u003cp\u003eArik Moonhawk Roper (born 1973) is an illustrator and painter based in New York City. Roper grew up in Richmond, Virginia. His parents both being artists, his creativity was encouraged and he spent a great deal of time during childhood drawing. After graduating from the School of Visual Arts in 1995 specializing in cartooning, and silk-screening, he began working as a freelance illustrator and storyboard artist for advertising agencies in New York City. In 1998 he was hired as a storyboard revisionist at MTV Animation for the series Downtown. Later he directed his creativity toward more personal interests while shifting into the world of music-related visual art and packaging. After creating album art in the 1990s for underground rock and metal bands such as Buzzoven, Weedeater, and Nebula, and working often for Tee Pee Records, his reputation grew within the underground music scene. In the early 2000s he reconnected with Matt Pike of Sleep and created several album covers for the band High on Fire. He later went on to become closely associated with the band Sleep, having created several album covers for them, including the \"bootleg\" version of Jerusalem and two versions of the legendary Dopesmoker.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"sleep-oakland-2012","title":"Sleep : Oakland 2012","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eJune 5th 2012\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eFox Theater Oakland\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eCollaboration with \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.arikroper.com\/\" style=\"line-height: 1.5;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eArik Moonhawk Roper\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003e* Signed and numbered by both artists\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e5 color screen print\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eEdition of 100\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eExtra Large size 24 x 35.5\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan style=\"line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eCougar White paper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"samaritan press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":301524751,"sku":"","price":500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0180\/9375\/products\/sleep2_1.jpg?v=1366701466"},{"product_id":"sleep-420-mini-print-with-sticker","title":"Sleep 420 : Mini Print","description":"\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eThe Sleep 420 mini print is 12 x 12\".\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-family: -apple-system, BlinkMacSystemFont, 'San Francisco', 'Segoe UI', Roboto, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif; font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003eLimited copies available here are signed by both artists Arik Roper and DV D’Andrea\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOriginal collaboration by David D'Andrea and Arik Roper.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIt is the same design as the full sized version, minus the text and tour dates.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFive color print by Monolith Press.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSigned but not numbered\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e* Mini prints are printed on the same parent sheet as the full size posters.
