The Art of Roland Millington

Original watercolor and illustration

Figurative work, classic pinup, traditional subjects and whatever else finds its way onto the easel.

Previously published in Delicious Dolls and Retro Lovely.

Artwork by Roland Millington.

Selected Work

From the studio

I work primarily in watercolor, with a fondness for classic pinup illustration, glamour, character and a bit of visual mischief. Some paintings begin with a carefully worked-out idea. Others begin with, “Well, let's see what happens if I do this.”

Editorial & Illustration

Illustration for print, editorial and publication

My pinup work has previously appeared in Delicious Dolls and Retro Lovely, and I’m available for editorial illustration, publication features and selected creative assignments. My work is particularly suited to classic pinup, mid-century glamour, retro editorial and character-driven illustration.
