Cupco!? A whimsical thought provoking world.
Cupco!? is the animation, illustration and doll-making brainchild of Luke Temby . Born in Tokyo, on skateboards and mass sticker pasting, and subsequently transplanted to Sydney, Australia. Cupco!? both appreciates and satirises the ludicrous and ridiculous nature of modern society! He has made a name for himself over the last decade for his prolific output of multi- disciplinary pop art.
