Midwest native, Renaldo Cooper is a dedicated author and art collaborator that founded Crans Image House with the primary goals of progressing diversity and the creative voices of artists who are often silenced by culturally prejudice circumstances. Cooper's writing is the fruit of a diverse environment as well as an honest critique of society's maintenance of itself. "(My writing) is the intersection where art, politics, freedom and adverse perspectives meet." Cooper expounds, "Then add superpowers, drama, crime, racism, religion, mythology, and love or the lack thereof."
