About Me

I'm a graphic designer, illustrator and music fan. Most of my time is spent creating designs for t-shirts, concert posters, album covers, logos and so on. I've been lucky enough to do design work for rock n roll legends such as The Rolling Stones, Neil Young and The Tragically Hip to name a few. I even won a fancy award for my work with The Hip - a JUNO (the Canadian equivalent of a GRAMMY).I'm always working on new posters and album art for bands alongside my own apparel designs and art prints. You can find my work in low brow and high brow joints and publications around the globe. Thanks for stopping by. Please also visit www.willruocco.com for my online store and portfolio.
