As I continue to pursue my education in the field of multimedia
arts I will be posting samples of my class related and personal projects. I
will be posting not only finished art, but also samples of the processes that
precede the final product. When I initially started out on my artistic career
over 20 years ago it was my plan to be involved in many aspects of the creative
arts. I became primarily focused on painting and illustrating and during that
time the technology available to artist grew. Like many "old school"
artist I had a grudge against artwork created with the use of the computer. Admittedly
that grudge was simply a bias and fear of something new and of something that
seemed to be outside of what was possible for me. As if waking out of a slumber
of ignorance I now embrace these wonderful tools that give an artist another
way to manifest dreams, to communicate ideas, and to inspire.

The Zen of Seeing and Drawing This is my gallery of drawings and doodles that I do as a meditation and a form of therapy. The drawings are usually done in a very short period of time and I post them on my blog. http://paulwcoca.blogspot.com/ I try to do one drawing a day and usually I have no idea what it might be until I find it. Doing these drawings have helped me unclog the cobwebs that have cluttered my ability to see as an artist sees the world. It is a form of Zen meditation. It is the Zen of Seeing and Drawing.
