Very appreciated as an illustration teacher, Rocco has been publishing his own work since the 90s in daily press (Libération, Le Monde…), in magazines (XXl, SVM, Sciences & Avenir…), but also in various underground graphzines (Sortez la chienne, Rouge Gorge…) and is always volunteer for participating to experimental graphic websites such as bechamel.com.

After the Fine Arts School of Lyon, he met the early MAC128 computers which will set his path. Supported by the Apple graphic studio, Rocco is part of this first generation of graphists who grew up fully in digital media. His efficient sense of shortcuts and his passion for news are reasons why he is one of the most solicited french illustrators. As for exhibitions, Rocco has collaborated with arts factory for over decade.
