Michelle Rooney has always been an artist, who remembers since childhood always having an art utensil in-hand. She was then called to illustration as a way to express her thoughts to paper, finding her campy style. "I have always been drawn to the comical side of human nature and its complexities" states Rooney about the subjects of her cartoons. Michelle has built her career by creating cute and clever advertisements, cards, invitations, and web images for a variety of clients and children's and women's fashion magazines. The new blog will feature fun cartoons, and soon a store with products and clothing donning Rooney's designs, cartoons, and comics.

Cartoons are playing a new importance in media, in this social media age where are picture speaks a thousand words. Marketing has shifted from the 'content is king' philosophy to a need for amusing images that say it all. The average adult can only read 50 words in 10 seconds, and an image is much faster and more influential. Michelle Rooney's Roon Toons blog shows great examples of how to draw in an audience with cartoons.
