“…to my brother, Rock Star – you were the beacon of light that helped lead me out of the darkness…You are the ‘Rock’ and I am the ‘Roll’ in this freight train express to a blissful existence.”

This excerpt was written by Super Star in the opening acknowledgments section of his autobiographical book titled, “The First 30 Days To Serenity: The Essential Guide to Staying Sober”, published in 2011.

Rock Star passed away in November 2017, and Super Star passed away in August 2023.

Words can’t embody the heartbreak felt for everyone affected, especially for the residents & emergency responders. 💔 #RSSSP

"Go against the grain, always…all the people that tell you it’s impossible are the ones who failed.” - Rock Star (2012) 🤘🎸💫 #RSSSP #sobersky #serenity #rockmusic #guitarist #musicsky #inspiration #portraitart Artwork by: @courtneyleedesigns.com in December 2023. rockstarsuperstarproject.org

"Rock Star" (2023) by Courtney Lee Designs. A digital portrait memorializing Rock Star (Marc Kancler). Rock Star worked with his twin brother, Super Star (Kris Kancler), and became the founders of Rockstar Superstar Project. Rock Star was a prolific guitarist. These twin brothers worked alongside many famous musicians, as well as experts in the industries of substance use disorder and mental health, to spread awareness in many creative ways about the dangers of drugs and alcohol. They both strongly advocated others to lead a life of sobriety, and what they coined as “dream-catching” - encouraging their youthful audiences to chase their dreams. Rock Star passed away in November 2017. Super Star and Courtney became close friends and worked together on various design projects, starting in 2018. Super Star expressed his desire to return to his work with Rockstar Superstar Project. Super Star could never fulfill this goal, as he also passed away in August 2023. Courtney Lee Designs continues to use her own platform, as well as this RSSSP Bluesky account, to share the stories of Rock Star, Super Star, and RSSSP. She continues to make art and pursue other professional endeavors that will help continue their legacy.

"[RSSSP] was founded in 2008 by twin brothers, who legally changed their names to Rock Star & Super Star in an effort to rebrand sobriety…” Excerpt from RSSSP’s YouTube channel: youtube.com/@ROCKSTARSUPERSTARPROJECT 2023 Artwork by: @courtneyleedesigns.bsky.social

The original logos designed by twin brothers Rock Star and Super Star were incorporated into this 2023 digital artwork by Courtney Lee Designs. Rock Star (top) was a guitarist, and his character has his arms raised. Super Star (bottom) was a drummer, so his character is holding drumsticks. In the center, in a KISS-inspired typeface is the title: “Rockstar Superstar Project”. The logos, text, and surrounding stars, glitter, and abstract brush strokes are all gold on top of a black background.
