Rocky Casillas Aguirre is a Latino and LGBTQ comics creator based in southern, MN. In 2020, he founded Rokaturas® -- an art studio dedicated to creating accessible mental health and mindfulness-themed children's books and comics.
In 2023, Rocky launched the first issue of his new series: Twitch and the Mystic Weenie™ and his first children's book: Where Did Anxiety Go? which was printed in four languages (Spanish, English, Somali, and Swahili) to ensure accessibility by immigrant and refugee youth. Both books were funded by the MN State Arts Board and a fellowship from the Department of Public Transformation (DoPT).
Since then, Rocky has continued to self-publish comics online and printed. Additionally, in 2025 he co-founded My Kind of Comics Club in Northfield, MN - a club dedicated to supporting aspiring comic writers and illustrators of all ages.
Projects currently under development include: Stresszilla and issues #3 & #4 of the Twitch and the Mystic Weenie™ series.
