I'm Rock Cowles, a graphic artist, specializing in 3D caricatures, Flash animation, web site design, custom logos, and t-shirt and business card design.

I first began designing web sites in 1993. After designing several for my own business, I began to have other businesses approach me and ask to do sites for them. I've specialized in web sites for tattoo and piercing shops, dog breeders, and small churches, but have also created web sites for corporations, a Christian bookstore, a day care, a boarding kennel, political organizations, an interior design company, a business card company, a cellphone store, an investment company, a tattoo supply company, and others.

My caricatures have been seen in books and newspapers, on television, billboards, magazines, business cards, ads, flyers, and t-shirts. I have yet to break into radio!

I do my best to create a fun likeness while trying to find a balance between mercy, humor, and accuracy.

I firmly believe a good caricature looks more like you than you do!

I do not, at present, do live caricatures, parties, or events. I have chosen instead to focus on doing studio caricatures in the relative safety of my studio in upstate, South Carolina.

I am happily married to a wonderful Filipina, Marecho. She is my better third.

My wonderful daughter, Raeny, is my greatest teacher. She is fourteen going on twenty-one, gorgeous, and totally off limits to everyone!

We live with Crazyhead Murphy, our Doodleman, 
and Mollie, our poodle/miniature Daschund-mix.
They like having us around.

It was with great sadness that we put our good girl,
Fat Dazey, to sleep in July of 2009.
She is so greatly missed.



I am a former police officer, soldier, sailor, tattoo artist, & body piercer. I am a member of Mensa, an ordained minister, and a South Carolina Notary Public.

Some of my interests include reading, writing, The International Society of Caricature Artists (ISCA), MMA/UFC/WEC, knife collecting, tattoo design, shooting sports, Mensa, volleyball, Philippines, privacy, philosophy, darts, pool, spending time with friends, and movies.

I was fortunate enough to be able to meet MAD Magazine's Jack Davis at the Southeast Chapter of the National Cartoonist Society's gathering in Asheville, NC on September 26, 2009. Great guy!
