about
Hello. My name is Josh Walrath. I'm a Denver, CO based illustrator, designer, and part time dungeon delver.
I grew up in a household where both of my parents were artists by hobby and my first instructor was my father. He also introduced me to both of my main artistic inspirations; American comic books and Japanese animation. Ever since, I have been driven to create worlds that contain fantastic stories and characters. To visit the kinds of places and meet the people that could only be dreamed up in our heads.
My artwork draws upon dark linework, bold colors, and dynamic compositions to tell stories. I often like to explore darker themes and complex characters that defy normal fantasy conventions, reinterpreting the familiar and sometimes problematic elements of the genre I love into something with modern sensibilities while maintaining the allure of the unknown that first drew me to fantasy as a child
