"Big shout out to my dear friend Russell Peters, easily one of the coolest and most supportive people I know. Thank you for your friendship and continued support. 'The Real Folk Blues' could not have found a better home."

Podcast Host & Comedian Joe Rogan adds the original "Welcome To The Crossroads Show" painting to his art collection.

"While I paint, I am usually listening to music or podcasts, and it is almost always The Joe Rogan Experience. To see my newest release displayed in one of the most iconic studios around is absolutely surreal. 'Welcome to the Crossroads Show' could not have found a better home. I am both humbled and grateful for the opportunity."

"James Cameron’s vision for Alita, brought to life under Robert Rodriguez’s direction, was nothing short of a masterpiece. As a longtime fan of Yukito Kishiro’s original manga, I had always wondered whether Hollywood would ever take on a character like Alita and do her justice. Congratulations to Mr. Cameron and Mr. Rodriguez for truly pulling it off."

“No better piece to kick off my upcoming collection, than with the painting titled after it. Ladies & gentlemen, please welcome to The Crossroads Show, where a song seals the deal! Stay tuned for more to come... But for now, grab a chair and sing along, or simply enjoy the show!”

Staying true to his promise of a music-themed collection, Marcel recently released a new original oil-on-canvas painting titled “Swift Notes.”

“When I announced my upcoming music-themed collection, my social media DMs started flooding with suggestions for musicians I should consider painting. I received quite a few requests for a Taylor Swift piece, and after doing a little research, I discovered that, like me, Ms. Swift is a proud cat owner. I didn’t need much more convincing after that. I just wanted to paint her alongside her two adorable cats.”

“I have to say, I had a lot of fun painting this one, especially the cats. As a cat owner, I know just how much personality they can have, so I had to do a little homework to capture theirs in this painting. Needless to say, I’m very happy with the result. This one goes out to Taylor Swift. I hope she and her fans love it as much as I do!”

“Swift Notes” is a one-of-a-kind Original Oil Painting and is currently not available as a Limited Edition Giclée on canvas.

“A music-themed collection is on its way, and dare I say it will be absolutely soul-grabbing. Pun intended.” said artist Marcel Santos during the unveiling of his two new original paintings.

“I had a wonderful time creating this piece. From the very beginning, it came together with an ease that felt almost effortless. I had always wanted to paint a beautiful woman wearing boxing gloves, but something essential was missing and I could never quite put my finger on it.

That changed when I came across photographs of the real-life knockout angel, Ms. Adriana Lima, boxing for a Victoria’s Secret VSX collection shoot. Suddenly, everything fell into place.

Ladies and gentlemen, I’d like to present to you: Knockout Angel.”

Artist Marcel Santos unveiled a new release at a private showing in Beverly Hills, CA last weekend!

The new release is titled “The Tale of The Unavailable” An Original Oil painting on a 16” x 38” canvas.

While unveiling his new release, Marcel had to share what sparked such a relatable piece.

“People have a funny way of wanting what they cannot have, or what seems just out of reach. I painted this piece last year after having dinner with friends, when I noticed a group of women showing a great deal of interest in one of my friends. The funny part was that he had come with his girlfriend, and the two of them were clearly very much in love. Anyone who saw them together could tell they were perfect for one another.

When his girlfriend stepped away for a moment, I asked him if he had noticed the attention he was getting. His answer made me laugh. He said, ‘When I was single, I couldn’t even catch a cold, let alone the attention of women. But now that I’m taken and madly in love, suddenly every woman who sees us together seems to want to test what we have.’

There may be more than one moral to this story, but I’ll leave that for everyone else to decide.”

“It was an absolute honor to create a painting inspired by such a remarkable figure in music. Mr. Sergio Mendes was an Academy Award nominee, a Grammy Award winner, and the recipient of countless other honors throughout an extraordinary career.

I have been a longtime admirer of his work, and I chose to title this piece ‘Timeless’ for many reasons. Most importantly, it is also the title of one of Sergio’s albums, and one of my personal favorites. It felt like the perfect name for a piece inspired by an artist whose music leaves a lasting impression.”

Mr. Mendes' album "TIMELESS" features a wide array of Neo-Soul and Alternative Hip Hop guest artists, including The Black Eyed Peas, Erykah Badu, Jill Scott, Chali 2na of Jurassic 5, India Arie, John Legend, Justin Timberlake, Stevie Wonder and many more!

“I am often asked whether I would ever paint any of the guest artists featured on ‘Timeless.’ I would love to. They are all incredibly talented musicians, and each one brings something unique to the world of music. If the opportunity ever presented itself, I am sure I could create some very cool concepts inspired by any of them.”

Two new releases for the much anticipated "LA Nights" Collection! We would like to present to you...

"I'm not one to just randomly sketch or paint celebrities, but when inspiration hits, it hits… I remember being a little under the weather, so I decided to take a day to myself and play hooky. Casually flipping through channels I came across a show on ABC called 'Baby Daddy' - Funny show by the way, I ended up watching 2 or 3 episodes that night… There was a scene where Chelsea's character was sipping' on some Chardonnay and I thought to myself, 'Oh, there's something I could draw!' So just for kicks, I decided to work on a quick sketch study of her."

When asked if there could possibly be a painting of her, or a painting with her in it in the near future Marcel answered:

"Of course, that sketch I made generated a lot of positive feedback. So, why not?! She's  got style… I'd love to work on a piece for her someday."

A Letter From The Artist...

I wouldn’t be where I am today without my family, friends, and collectors. I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the people who have been with me on this journey:

To my good friend Jay Zeballos—thank you for your continued support and friendship from day one. And to my good friend Mike Zeballos—thank you for your friendship and for your incredible support in helping me build this amazing website.

To my teacher and friend Jean Jacques Machado—you’ve shown me that Jiu-Jitsu is more than a martial art; it’s a way of life. Through Jiu-Jitsu, I’ve learned that anything is possible when you believe in yourself. Thank you for giving me the tools and mindset that helped me get where I am today.

To my friend Joe Zimmerman—your ideas, encouragement, and advice have been invaluable. I’m grateful to know I can always count on you.

To my family—words can’t capture the love and gratitude I feel. My father, an incredible graphic designer, thank you for designing my logo, and for helping me with so many projects along the way. To my mother, who always believed in me and pushed me to follow my dreams—thank you, I love you. And to my siblings, who stood by me through thick and thin—never stop chasing your dreams. Thank you for all the love and support you continue to show me.

And finally, to my collectors—you’ve given me the greatest gift of all: the chance to live my dream. Your belief in my work fuels me every single day. Thank you for standing by me and supporting this journey.

Much love from your Artist,

Marcel Santos
