The prompt

Re-render this image as a hand-painted billboard fragment collage in the 1960s Pop register of James Rosenquist. Imagine the source projected to outdoor advertising scale, painted with wide enamel-loaded sign brushes on joined panels, then cut into three uneven vertical strips and rejoined in their original left-to-right order. Do not replace the subject or introduce unrelated products: pull every startling enlargement from details already present in the source, such as an existing contour, shadow, or patch of reflected light. Let one source detail expand enormously behind a neighboring strip while the major subject and its pose stay anchored in the same places. The visual collision comes from scale, not new objects. Paint gradients as broad sign-painter sweeps with a few bristle tracks, in tomato red, icy turquoise, pale lemon, ink black, and bleached cream. Draw sharp panel seams and one narrow sliver of raw support at a join. Keep the three planes legible at a glance, with no tiny collage scraps. The mood is grand, fluorescent, and slightly disorienting, like a city-sized memory of an ordinary image. This is pictorial splicing by a billboard painter, not a photographic montage or a consumer-product advertisement. Leave a calm, uncluttered band of negative space along the top or bottom edge where a title could sit. Strictly no on-canvas text, no legible lettering, no signature, no watermark, no logos. Preserve the subject, pose, and composition of the source image exactly, change only the medium and rendering. Aspect ratio matches source.

What it is doing

A billboard's scale turns a detail into a landscape. Rosenquist's technique makes apparently innocent commercial seeing feel spatially unstable without relying on recognizable products or borrowed ad imagery.
