Pig Flamingos
Digital illustration & photo collage.
After the rousing success of my RuPork fan art on social media, I turned my drag queen mash-ups into a series I dubbed “Pigs in Wigs.” Pig Flamingos is the second in this series and pays homage to the late great John Waters muse Divine and her magnum opus Pink Flamingos.
To mimic the original film’s theatrical poster, I photographed pulled-apart cotton balls and in Photoshop layered them on top of the modest hills of Burbank, CA. I modeled the title graphic after a VHS edition’s design.
Nothing could prepare me for the popularity of this little lady. She is routinely my highest seller at conventions and pride events. This illustration even caught the eye of the official estate of Divine - and I have been lucky enough to work with them since then on another piece entitled the Divine Sea Queen.
