During the height of his career in the 1980s, Espinosa garnered numerous awards and commendations because of his works. Emerging from artistic hibernation in 2014, Roy, driven by his desire to help fellow Filipino artists to be known, began publishing The Filipino Artists Magazine, as a platform to promote both masters and emerging artists in the country. To date, he has published several coffee table books as an attempt to contribute something in the world of art criticism and appreciation. As a proponent of Philippine arts and culture, Roy was given awards and commendations for his contributions to the art scene and has been invited to judge several art competitions around the city.
