LISA PETRUCCI's CUTE LITTLE BATGIRL ART PAINTING!
In the current art scene there's a favorite artist of mine named LISA PETRUCCI who creates her work with her own little characters. They are sort of modeled after a classic vintage 1960's toy called "Liddle Kiddles". Kiddles were tiny little dolls made by Mattel that had a super cute persona. Their "world" was extra super-happy! Everything in that world was bright & cheerful, filled with joy. Lisa Petrucci's art captures that "feeling" but every now & then her characters are slightly kitschy or sexy, making them kinda funny. She also has sort-of a trademark thing she does where she paints the graphics on a thinly-sliced piece of log. She leaves the bark around the edges giving it a earthy feel. They're kinda tacky or low brow but that's the point she's trying to make. Here's a really great example of an art work she just did recently that features one of her cutesy characters in a Batgirl Costume.

Hello bat blog, I found about you while looking for Ratman mention on US sites. Ratman the italian comic, which is much more than an easy parody, and more akin to advanced superhero deconstructionism a la Kingdom Come. Basically it's a serious story about the different ages of comic-book superheroes: golden age superheroes which shun the interference of authorities in their freedom ethics, state sanctioned superheroes turned hired guns, manga arrogance vilifying superheroic values, the death of superheroism. All deeply immersed in slapstick.
Of course nobody is ever going to export this overseas.
