About Tripaldi Artworks

Tripaldi Artworks is run by two artists who believe in thoughtful craft, humor, and warmth. Our work ranges from illustration to hand-knit goods, all made with care, curiosity, and a deep respect for individuality and self-expression.

Rocky Tripaldi

Self portrait, 2025

My name is Rocky (he/him), and I’ve been doodling and drawing since 1985. I earned a bachelor of arts in 2008, but never put it to use until divine and friendly intervention guided me back to the arts in 2025!

Now, I meet weekly with a group of talented and supportive artists who’ve helped me elevate my work. I’m grateful for them and for my spouse who always finds new ways to bring my art to the world.

I love drawing portraits, illustrating greeting cards, and making silly comic strips.
