Pin-up artists come in all varieties, and in the case of Carlos Valenzuela, he’s the pin-up art equivalent of Walmart; he provides viewers with almost any kind of pin-up model you can think of.
Though he’s versatile enough to render anything, Carlos Valenzuela gravitates towards vintage Sci-Fi and horror movie posters, illustrating faux film promos featuring his signature curvaceous ladies. It’s unlikely that people will complain as each of his digital creations not only nails the classic look of those posters from yesteryear, but they can also be quite comical. Seeing pin-ups with oversized weapons and monster heads on walls as souvenirs will surely induce a few chuckles from viewers.
Carlos Valenzuela currently resides in Chile, where he works as an illustrator and comic book cover artist. His profession accounts for the copious amounts of superhero-themed pin-ups in his portfolio.
