Biographie de Doc Colour

Doc Colour was born on Halloween and grew up in the town of Sunnyvale, California. As far back as age 4, he can recall finger-painting huge faces and fat trees, knowing then that he would be creating art for the rest of his life. Doc graduated from San Jose State University with a B. A. in Graphic Design: emphasizing in Illustration. During this time, he created his unique, signature style of illustrating bold, black and white images, which he called ZOPS (visit Doc's website at: www.zops.com).
These illustrations soon became a self-titled comic panel published in his school newspaper. The panel combined Doc's illustrations and quirky rhymes with an enlightening moral at the end. As his interest for rhyming and illustrating grew, so did his passion for writing children's books, which perfectly combine his love for words, rhyming, illustrating, graphic design, and telling unusual stories.
