Featured Artist: Louis Roskosch – Simply Inspirational Artwork

I’ve been falling behind in reviewing, commenting, and posting all of the amazing artwork that Katherine(@fiametta137) keeps collecting and storing for me to post about.  I’ve done a huge diservice to both her, and you the readers by not writing about these artists sooner.  Today we’re going to take a look at Louis Roskosh and his inspirational, and simplistic character art that makes me wonder why I even try holding a pen to paper. 

Roskosh was born on MAy 12th, 1984 and attended the Arts Institute of Bournemouth and recieved a BA in animation in 2007.  During this time period and onwards Roskosh has been creating stunning illustrations remniscient of early 70’s pop art while managing to retain a large part of Roskosh’s personal aesthetic.  The main motifs in his work seems to be that of story/fairy tales.  Knights, dragons, robots, damsels in distress and damsels causing distress.  His work is provacative, simple, attractive, and inspirational.  An interesting thing I found with his work is that it is extremely textile, in that the way he colors images gives the impression that the illustrations could easily be printed or woven onto cloth and retain the same amount of quality.  Below is more of his work which will speak for himself and make sure to check out his work at: http://www.louisroskosch.com/
