WELCOME! Welcome to this first update in the new year! First of all, a word from Coco on an update in New.
Hello everyone! In New, you can find an update with a little bit of a back story. It is the revisiting of a figure which I have used quite often over the years. It is the very heavy, older distinguished woman, the matron. This time it is a re-visit to her stuck in the same contraption I used seven years ago, and prior to that, for the first time fifteen years ago. You can find a tripych of all three of them in New, too. To be frank, I have always thought that the inspiration for these heavy set characters came from the work of Saudelli, and yet, I had some doubt at the same time. And now, lately I discovered an old Spiderman comic in my collection and all was revealed. There, on the cover was a figure that had immediately fascinated me. It was side character that was invented and drawn by Sal Buscema; and she was an attorney for Joe Robertson, editor of the Daily Buggle.
Last update!

Hello everyone! Welcome to this last update of 2017! You can find updates in New, the Sketchpage and the Luna page. Also, there is a new story in Short Stories, under New. And in the shop we present Coco's second album: The Art of Coco. This book was first published in 2001, and has been sold out for a long, long time.

This is easily one of my top favorites! Always has, and always will be, for multiple reasons.
First of all, Bishop hasn't done much work in color, and in this piece I find his toning nothing less than perfect. This goes for the skin color as well as for the leather of the boots, and the metal tone of the pole.
Then there is the size of it. The thin wide line through the middle of the picture is there due to the fact that this was a sort of splash page: it was folded in the middle of one of the Fanni Hall books. Being twice as big as the other illustrations, it really was a kind of mini poster, perfect for framing.
