The Barcelona-based illustrator has published more than 100 titles internationally, after beginning as a scientific illustrator before specialising in children’s illustration.</p>\n<p>Across these works, Roger’s familiar approach is still there: fine pencil textures, theatrical characters, expressive animals and carefully staged compositions. But the tone is sharper. Some of the pieces were created for <em>Kosmos</em>, a book by Italian author Matteo Meschiari, placing Roger’s atmospheric world-building in service of a post-apocalyptic narrative.</p>\n<p>See more
