Secret
Sauce Studio is the home of freelance illustrator, cartoonist
and cage fighter Joe Rocco. Joe grew up a Yankee, wandering
the modern glass and metal beehive known as Manhattan, then eventually
exploring the Great Malls of East Texas in the suburban landscapes of
outer Dallas/Ft. Worth as a teen. Joe graduated from the prestigious
Art Center College of Design, in Pasadena, California and then worked
in New York City for many magazines, book publishers, newspapers and
various entertainment media organizations. Today, he works in the backyard
of movie stars and plastic surgery victims, who prowl the Hollywood
Hills of Southern California near Laurel Canyon. Mr.
Rocco lives with his cat Quigman, still concocting his illustrations
and comics for everyone under the Sun.
