dari Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 I'm pretty sure that the WTF section of the forum is the best place to post this. Here's a link to some of his work, in the off chance that some jackass tries to get a job somewhere using Juan's portfolio.

tammy Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 how did this happen? do you think it might be a wannabe artist or an uber fan/stalker?

hogg Posted December 20, 2010 Share Posted December 20, 2010 What in the fuck were they thinking? Juan Puente's style is so recognizable. I think it'd be painfully obvious to anyone in the know that not just any hack can pull off uber-clean tattoos like his.

dari Posted December 20, 2010 Author Share Posted December 20, 2010 No idea, helpers had thought he had taken it with him when he left town for a few days, and he noticed when he got back, so they have no idea.

Tight-Lines Posted December 22, 2010 Share Posted December 22, 2010 Thats pretty sketch. You can only get so far at a shop before they notice that your work is nothing like what you have in your portfolio. Ground control to major bummer on that one.

Kevin Campbell Posted December 23, 2010 Share Posted December 23, 2010 Ugh that's so fucked. The amount of time people spend putting a nice portfolio together...Such a bummer.

Lizzie Posted December 25, 2010 Share Posted December 25, 2010 I always had a soft spot for "real" portfolios. Someones collections of all their years of hard work in developed real photographs. It's a dying art. That's a true loss to Juan, I hope someone is able to recover his book.
