Inspiration Illustrator #13 Kerby Rosanes

Kerby Rosanes is an illustrator who creates extremely intricate and detailed drawings. He has done commissions for companies such as Nike and posts a lot of his complex doodles online.

His work interests me because it is so busy! There is so much going on within each drawing and all of it is done really accurately and beautifully that when you see his work for the first time you just sit there in awe. I look at his work and say to myself “I want to be that good one day!” Something else that I like about Rosanes’ work is the fact that he never uses colour; all of his work is done in black fineliner, something that you would think would make his illustrations seem flat, but it really suits the subject matter which he draws.

In relation to my work, I would say that we have a similar grim sense of taste; a lot of his work features some form of decay or brutality to it which indicates a more mature subject matter.
