Martin Kellerman, born on December 24, 1973 in Växjö, Sweden, is a Swedish cartoonist, mostly known as the creator of the successful strip 'Rocky', published in many big, mostly Swedish, newspapers. He was born and raised in Växjö, Sweden, but lived for a while in northern Norway before his family moved to Upplands-Väsby near Stockholm when he was 13 years old. At about the same time, he started to sell his cartoons.

The semi-autobiographical cartoon 'Rocky' was created after Kellerman was just fired from his position as a cartoonist for the gentlemen's magazine Aktuell Rapport. To make matters worse, he also been dumped by his girlfriend and thrown out of his subleased apartment. 'Rocky' has since then, among other things, been published as a magazine, twelve books with cartoons, wall calendar, Christmas calendar, and a stage play, touring around Sweden. Kellerman has also worked as an illustrator for other works.
