Jay Cooper

Jay Cooper is credited in this catalogue as illustrator on You Are the Detective: The Creeping Hand Murder, an interactive, dossier-style whodunit co-created with mystery novelist Maureen Johnson. The book sets a 1933 London locked-room murder and invites readers to solve it themselves by examining reproduced photographs, clippings and witness interviews, all rendered as artwork rather than prose description -- making Cooper's illustration work integral to how the mystery is actually investigated, not incidental to it. It is Johnson's most recent standalone release tracked here, and pairs her plotting with Cooper's dossier-style visual material.

Beyond this single credit, this catalogue has no other verified information about Jay Cooper's career or body of work. "Jay Cooper" is not an uncommon name among working illustrators, and no attempt has been made to attribute a wider illustration career to this credit without a confirmed source connecting them.
