Adam Coe

UNIVERSITY OF CENTRAL OKLAHOMA SCHOOL OF DESIGN

I am an energetic and curious creative. I enjoy learning about the world around me and beyond with interest in things beyond our pale blue dot. But when down on Earth, I am doodling some new comic ideas or spending time with my friends and family.

An odd mixture of both. I like staying up all night, but I also like waking up early.

Francisco Goya
