Doll box artwork - Rock Jem

This is the beautiful art featured on the doll and playsets boxes and posters. Hasbro spent months looking for the right artist, and in the last minute they found Sharon Knettell. She is the artist who created the look of the artwork, and also did the original artwork of the characters for Hasbro's doll line. The original packaging for the first year and part of the second year was done by Sharon Knettell. After she established the look, Hasbro eventually hired other artists in an attempt to re-create the same style for a cheaper price. Unfortunately as the doll line was coming to an end, Hasbro featured less art on their doll boxes.

Unlike the other art pages on this site, these pictures aren't directly from the source of the original artworks, but either from the doll boxes or even from high resolution copies from Hasbro which is really cool because it allows you to see alot more detail. But the real artwork was once available for sale on the internet many years ago.
