Tiger Strikes Asteroid is pleased to announce our collaboration with artist Amber Janay Cooper (@ambers_innerworld)! For the months of November, December 2026 and January 2027, we will be promoting and selling exclusive t-shirts that feature one of the artist?s distinctive designs.

Amber Janay Cooper is a DC-based Afro-surrealist collage artist who extends the life of Black cultural imagery to envision new and old worlds and mine the universal elements of Black personhood. In 2025, Amber self-published two collections of collage works, Interophilia 001 and Interophilia Issue 002. Amber volunteers in her faith community and views her art practice as another branch of her spiritual exploration.

Goldboots and his tiger is an adaptation of an original artwork which depicts a boxer making a triumphant ring entrance through an archway alongside his tiger companion. It is a display of strength and tenderness between them. In this version, Goldboots and his tiger are unphased by the falling asteroid. Goldboots stands poised to strike the rock, motivated by the confident stride of the big cat.

All proceeds will directly support Tiger Strikes Asteroid?s programming at our five locations throughout the year.
