Hi! I'm Joselo Rocha.Â
Since I was 3 years old I knew I wanted to be an artist (as in painting, sculpture, and all that good stuff) I knew it after I took a painting class, my room walls were filled with comics, movie posters, and art, even the ceiling was full, I also used to record videogames in VHS tapes, you know the "cinematic animations" when you finish a game? I love them so much, I wanted to create that...
And then life happened, and I paid attention to what everybody around me said: "You'll die hungry if you become an artist", at that time there was only "fine art" like in Michelangelo, not like now that there is a way broader industry for artists like video games, animation, character and background creation and so on...
So I studied advertising (even wrote a book about it to help entrepreneurs, it came out quite good if I say so myself), anyway, advertising has to do with creativity, storytelling, photography, and art right?... wrong... it all has to do with sales.
So I said "If I want to become an artist, it's now or never" and here we are, it hasn't been easy but I'm living my dream!
Thank you for stopping by and supporting my art, I hope you enjoy what I create as much as I enjoyed making it.
