Why do my pinup portrait transformations takes up to 100 hours to create?
These tiny Instagram photos really don’t do any detail justice. For my “A game” portraits, I compose a complete full body sexy pinup from just a simple cellphone camera photo as reference.
It’s not enough to be an illustrator, but to also wear the hats of a fashion stylist, hair stylist, set designer, and makeup artist. These things consume time, but yield fulfilling results. Curious about being transformed?—-> PortraitsbySantiago@gmail.com <—-

“Medusa” portrait commission process for @tushJones

Portrait of Kanoena ( @bxwahie ) from the Bronx. I was commissioned by Kanoena to create a pinup. Not sure what concept she hand in mind, on a fluke, she was consuming a Hawaiian beverage called “Aloha Maid”. A light bulb went off and requested that I create a Hawaiian inspired pinup called “Aloha Made” as homage to her roots and homeland. Her is the result.

A photo (courtesy of @Vintagevandal ) of my muse and great friend @vivalisalove at Viva Las Vegas #16. I collaborated with Lisa on several “Cine Mexicano” styled vintage posters and once again worked together on the official program and poster of VLV#16. Always an honor. Please add this vintage style master and dear friend. @vivalisalove @vivalisalove @vivalisalove .

This fellow is one of the most underrated pinup master painters ever. 1970’s pinup artist Larry Vincent Garrison. I was super honored and excited to finally see one in person. I was really blown away by Rudy and Irma’s collection. #Pinup #LarryVincentGarrison
