Gibson County native, Drew Cooper, is making his homecoming one to remember. Cooper is a vibrant and highly coveted mural artist in California with his bold floral style.

Cooper has worked with major brands such as Adidas, Mountain Dew, Vans, and even worked with some rap artists. Thanks to local cafe, R'z Cafe & Catering, this native is coming home for one amazing project. Candice Yancey, owner of R'z was seeking someone to painting a large mural on the historic brick building her restaurant occupies. She is passionate about the talent of Fort Branch and wants something to not only an attraction but to have someone who came from Fort Branch.
