Paul Benincasa is a freelance artist living in Woodmere, New York. He grew up in Queens, New York where his first exposure to art came from copying drawings from comic books. “ I believe my love of the figure came from the highly stylized drawings of my favorite comic artists.” I got older and became more aware of Illustrators working in comics which opened more avenues to fine art.”

 

His anthology comic Transient Tales was self-published in 2010. Transient Tales contains 4 stories and encompasses Sci-fi, action-adventure, fantasy and superhero parody.
