Rojankovsky combines just plain great drawing with highly stylized compositional techniques.
I love the juxtaposition of his rough-hewn and ogreish Russian human characters with the highly intellectual compositions, hierarchy and stylized forms.

The colors, they cleanse my eyes.
Ohhh, those'r purdy. I espicially like the "Hansel and Gretel" one.
Beautiful. Thanks for posting these.
Nice paintings! Thanks for posting, John. I especially like the super fuzzy man-rabbit.
Nice illustrations and great link to some COLLIERS washes and illustrations.
A reason I don't watch new animation: it's hard, hard, hard; Flat-lit 2D, hard edged glossy 3D.
What's galling is software used to make new cartoons __can__ be set for softer, more wash-type looks without a lot of effort. After Effects based producers have a wide range of tools available.
Are there animation productions out there trying for a more painterly wash type look? Or are we doomed to the FAMILY GUY look for years to come?
Great illustrations... they have that slightly disturbing quality that I found both terrifying and irresistible in so many of my childhood Fairy Tale books.
Nice! I'd never seen this artist's work. I especially like the Puss N' Boots illo.
Incredible artwork John, thanks for the boost!
Beautiful illustrations. Thanks for the inspiring post, John. Some of these literally look like they're popping out of the page, because they're so solid looking! I'd like to see some cartoon out there try to experiment with those types of colors, to be honest.
Needs more hot-pink and lime-green. Some jagged, 'broken-glass' angles would be nice, too. This just isn't ugly enough for today's market.
Other underatted talented artist to added in my desk. At least he know matched the colors. And the atmosphere on each drawings is very impressive.
