Will Cooper oil ??? AKA used by Jack White??

I saw a painting sold on Ebay, the seller claimed Jack White used the aka Will Cooper for paintings he sold on ebay.. Anyone know if there is truth in this, or has heard the same. Including my Will Cooper!

 

You mean like Jack White, of the White Stripes?

 

Don't know about eBay sales, but artist Jack White, needing money when the Texas economy tanked in the '80s, sold quickly done paintings in mall shows under the 'Will Cooper' name - it's mentioned in one of his books, can be read here:

Read this. I bought a piece by Will Cooper on ebay some years back. A couple of years later, people started contacting me trying to buy it. This is why.
