The color finish for my single panel gag cartoon for kids. Reading was one of my favorite ways to escape as a kid and still is. #comicsforkids #childrenspublishing #joerocco #reading #kidlit

Because of my “9 to 5”, I had to sneak in time to finish this small tribute to Dolly Parton in the wee hours and in between work. I wanted to depict her the way I remember first being introduced to her talent & gentle spirit. #illustration #dollyparton #iwillalwaysloveyou❤️ #imaginationlibrary #9to5

I've been so inspired by the camaraderie and teamwork of the Artemis II crew and their mission this week that I thought I would post my tribute to the Apollo missions. It's a beautiful thing when we can all work together to not only dream big...but achieve big! #Artemis2 #Apollo11 #science #space

I’m tickled to post an illustration that I made for @fairsharepublishing. All 5 Dad jokes can be viewed via the QR code in their new book “The Fight to be Funny: A Dad Joke Battle”
My Dad joke was: “What kind of fish goes best with peanut butter? Jellyfish.”

During my classroom visit, the students provided fabulous words in our discussion, like "sharing", "bubbly" & "cupcake". We read, crafted, and I signed my new WORD UP! books for them. A super day! 🙃

The Neapolitan cuisine that I grew up with. It would have been perfect if I added some Stella Doro cookies because that completes the Long Island experience. Mangia y’all!
