Where it comes from . . .


So, people ask me all the time. . .
"Roc, why are you so super talented, amazingly handsome and an all around enjoyable person to be in the presence of?" . . .the question is usually something like that.
So here's the answer. . .I'm awesome.
nah, seriously though. most of my creative qualities come from my dad. I got this text from my brother with this pic of my Dad's latest Barack Obama piece. I'm always in awe of his stuff, especially since he hardly ever sits down to draw at all. So I thought I'd show it off.

If I could draw like that, I would never get up from my table. It must be cool to have grown up with inspiration so readily available. Very cool....

John,

Thank you for ALL of your support and constant visits. I am humbled by all of your kind words and positive feedback.

Great images all around in your blog - most specifically and recently, this one. And trust me, I have more to learn from you than you have from me.

Have a great week and thanks again.

Eric Canete.

No thank YOU, man. you're a constant inspiring force in the art world. I greatly respect what you do and I just try to pick up the little bits of knowledge that jump out at me from your work.
So back at you in every way, man.

your father is amazing. i can't believe that you have watched this man create art all of your life. i wish i could have had someone nurture my artistic side a little more or at the very least have an artistic person in my presence. my family does the stick people thing...lol. I am in awe. HE IS AMAZING.
