Discernible Thoughts
Impressions from OAX ‘26
I’m still trying to process everything that made OAX 2026 the extraordinary—and for me, on multiple occasions— out-of-body experience it was.
Interview With Comic Art LIVE
Kasra Ghanbari, CEO of Comic Art Fans, interviews sculptor Carlos Soca on his Comic Art LIVE channel to discuss appearing in next year’s OAX.
Sculptors Are Different
You might say that sculptors are often the most extroverted introverts in the fine arts world.
Collaboration
More often than not, filmmaking is a collaborative art form, despite the end product representing the specific vision of an individual director.
Born Artists
Thousands of people might study and practice painting, but people like Frazetta don’t become artists; they’re born that way.
Why Comic Conventions Matter
Comic Cons are big business these days, and most major cities feature at least one a year, with some markets holding several small events throughout the year in addition to their marquee convention.

Now Accepting New Commissions — Custom sculptures crafted by hand.
Please note, all Manifest Sculpt work is completed with traditional sculpting techniques—modelling and carving—rather than through modern digital techniques and programs. Consequently, the resin and bronze castings in this edition were also produced through traditional mold making and manufacturing processes. Final Manifest Sculpt commissions are available in a variety of materials, but they are not 3D printed and are not available as printable files. Copyright Notice: all work, including ideation, concepts, stories and their development, character design and production are the property of Carlos Soca unless otherwise noted, and all rights are reserved.
