Rocky Esposito is a senior at Becton Regional High School. You may have heard his name before, as he is no stranger to the Cat’s Eye View. Esposito has contributed to Becton’s newspaper since his sophomore year, using his artistic skills to make comic strips. He is very passionate about art, specifically the field of animation. Esposito has been creating art for a while, but during his freshman year he decided to turn his hobby into a career. Since then, he has already made progress toward his goals through his freelance work and YouTube channel. For one particular freelance job, he was commissioned by a comedian from Staten Island, making comics to accompany his routine. Additionally, he has also had experience with the business side of being an artist, as he actually holds a copyright to one of his illustrations. Esposito is focused on building his career, but as he puts it, “The payment of this job is not just money, it is the pleasure of being able to do what I love to do.” Along with his animation, he is also experimenting with some other mediums, such as scriptwriting and voice acting. In the future, he plans to go to an art school and major in visual arts. He also wants to get more into comedy, inspired by his previous client. Overall, in his third year of the Cat’s Eye View, Esposito is excited for the chance to venture into writing as well as share more of his passion for art with the community.
