Paul Coca's Artemystic storybook writer...

Artist directory :: Paul Coca's Artemystic storybook writer and illustrator

It was late summer 1988. I was at a friends house lamenting a recent break up and the hopeful prospect of a new love interest. On the radio Guns N' Roses' Sweet Child of Mine began playing. I got this image of one of the aliens from the movie Aliens playing that openning riff. I grabbed the nearest sheet of paper I could find and a ball point pen. I began drawing the image on the sheet of paper shading the drawing with a fine touch of cross hatch using the ball point pen. The great thing is, I finished this doodle before the song ended. Pretty darn quick! The drawing is over 20 years old and I still like it. 8x6" on grey note paper

After high school, I went to a production art school in Phoenix Arizona. I'm not going to lie to you; it took several years after art school to find steady work in my chosen profession. I've been a sign painter, a...

Doodles and Splats

Accidental pieces of art. Very whimsical images that I see in the spatters and splats on my work table. Sometimes, I can't help but to enhance them.
