My work is handmade in the simplest sense of the word. From the early stages of the storytelling process drawing and writing ideas in sketchbooks, even on napkins if need be, I love to create with multimedia which allows the material to be shared instantly and then constantly evolve.

Rod Cockle Entertainment presents original uplifting family-friendly productions for a connected, global audience. Since its foundation the studio has been dedicated to sparking guests' imaginations by crafting engaging attractions with compellingly unforgettable characters brought to life through captivating stories, illustrations, animation, and more.

In this electronic form of communication the narrative can always be built in new directions by editing and refining the text and images. It changes through time like when you walk a familiar trail's ecosystem of meandering paths and winding streams, but sunlight is cast differently from transitional weather, a tree fell because of a storm, or in the spring cottonwood fluff falls like snow... and it's a joy to see how the themes of the stories intertwine synergistically to reinforce each other.

Visitors everywhere are invited to explore the outer reaches of the cosmos, journey through time, search for hidden treasure, and embark on heroic quests in this adventurous landscape; and most of all to have a heartwarming experience that brings a smile.

Classrooms from around the world visit RodCockle.com for a visual storytelling resource. The site has been included in programs which teach and reinforce literacy skills to students with reading difficulties, a foster care program for reading comprehension, and a project that brought art to children at hospitals in the Pacific Northwest. Petals and Her Paintbrush participated in a program in which police officers give stuffed animals to comfort kids in distress.

The independent digital media production studio will continue to cherish building this convivial entertainment destination by developing a signature style of meaningful stories that celebrate cultural diversity and inclusion with intriguing mythology for guests wherever they are of all ages, and especially those who are young at heart.

The innovative content is completely free for everyone to share again and again in hope of creating a lifetime of fond memories and inspiring dreams for the future.

Thank you for visiting and best wishes,

Rod
