SANTIAGO" SANT" GODINEZ
I attended Art Center School of Design in Pasadena. I possess the ability to work with all mediums and I am an accomplished artist who has created artwork for various celebrities and sports figures.
I am an artist that specializes in WWII Nose Art. Everything I paint existed on a WWII fighter or bomber. I don't make up the names or choose the imagery from random references. My work pays homage to all the men and women who fought and sacrificed their lives for their countries.
The pieces I paint are 3' X 4' machine contoured, hand drilled, hand riveted and weigh about 20 pounds. I previously worked in aerospace as a structure mechanic, so I combined my aircraft knowledge with my art training and came up with my work.
Exhibits/displays include Palm Springs Air Museum, Jones Gallery in Long Beach, Ink’d Chronicles in Pomona, Ink Spot and Gallery in Laguna Beach, GOPA Gallery in Riverside. Future showing will include The Flying Leathernecks Aviation Museum in San Diego.
