Old-school D&D artist Jim Roslof died this past Saturday. While I never considered him one of my favorite artists, there's no denying the indelible impression he left on my mind as a young nerd (I'm thinking mostly of the cover painting for B2: Keep on the Borderland).
I like the piece featured above because it showcases what I like best about his work: fluid lines, trippy shapes, and retro-fantasy style. This one gets bonus points for being especially polished (some of his stuff is not) and Art Nouveau-esque.
I'm really enjoying the celebration of his work on the various OSR blogs.
