welcome to ROKATURAS

Far too many kids struggle with anxiety and depression every day without proper support, a trusting adult or access to the right resources. Feeling is part of our shared human experience - we live in bodies that think and feel after all! But feelings shouldn’t be debilitating, like anxiety once was for me. In fact, I’ve learned that the ability to feel is our greatest superpower :)

ROKATURAS is an arts studio founded by Mexican artist, Rocky Casillas Aguirre, with a mission to help youth awaken to their infinite potential. Since 2020, the studio has been devoted to creating accessible (age appropriate, multilingual) mental health-based books, comics, and animations for kids and teens. Joining Rocky are Twitch (a curious flame) and Mystic Weenie (an ancient hotdog) - a wholesome duo teaching kids how to befriend their feelings, practice mindfulness, and live authentically.

ABOUT ROCKY

Rocky is a Latino and LGBTQ artist, originally from Tijuana - a border town and the largest city in Baja California, Mexico. His comics and creative efforts are inspired by personal struggles with anxiety and identity, and the exploration of the mind.

He launched ROKATURAS late 2020, after taking refuge in art and meditation to overcome years of panic attacks. Through his magical characters and stories, Rocky shares mindfulness tips and lessons learned while on his healing journey in hopes of helping others.

Remember you are infinite.
