My name is Adin and I am an artist based in Los Angeles.
My art includes my pottery, mainly rock climbing mugs, and also my digital illustrations that I showcase and offer through t-shirts.
CocaPoola is a username/nickname I came up with in elementary school and have always used somewhere or another and it is a name many know and have known me as for a long time.

There was always something about pottery that interested me, and in high school I always wanted to take it but it never fit in my schedule when I was also doing graphic design or photography. I finally began doing pottery early 2024, starting with hand-building and then going on the wheel. I quickly bought my own wheel after starting and went all in.
Digital art/graphic design is something I have been doing for many years, starting Freshman year of high school. With the whole Adobe Suite included in my class, I could just explore whatever I felt like. I had a great teacher, Mr. Saunders, who let us work very freely and be creative. I taught myself video editing on Premiere Pro, and just played around in Illustrator doing vector art.
I started rock climbing early 2023, my brother took me once and I had no idea what I was getting into. I was instantly hooked and it is a big part of my life now. Combine all three of these passions and therein lies CocaPoola.
