I'm Rock Cowles, a graphic artist, specializing in 3D caricatures, custom logos, and t-shirt and business card design.
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 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.
My wonderful daughter, Raeny, has always been my greatest teacher. She and her husband, Evan, made me a grandfather in December of 2016 and again in 2018. Now Boobily Boo and Lumpy teach me Life stuff.
I live with my three rescue dogs, Girly, Darnell, and Big Mabel. I founded Spartanburg Ukuleles in 2018 (www.UkuleleFightClub.com).
I am a former police officer, soldier, sailor, tattoo artist, & body piercer. I am also an occasional Mensan and a former speaker for LEAP.
Some of my interests include family, dogs, reading, writing, Libertarianism, Ignosticism, Drug Law Reform, playing the ukulele poorly, shooting sports, Mensa, emergency preparedness, pointy things, privacy, freedom, Stoicism, live music, spending time with friends, and movies.
