ABOUT ROCKY

Rocky Casillas Aguirre is an emerging, Latinx and LGBTQIA+ artist originally from Tijuana – a border town and the largest city in Baja California, Mexico. From a young age, art has been his refuge for creative expression and de-stressing, and a way to make sense of the world. He is self-taught in comic writing, illustrating, and graphic design.

In 2020, Rocky launched ROKATURAS™ – an art studio, business and brand that gives a home to his world of cartoons and original stories. Since then, he has been self-publishing comics and children's books on the topics of mindfulness and mental health. Rocky’s art is inspired by the vibrancy of his Mexican heritage and personal struggles with identity and anxiety.
