DC Comics' BATMAN AND ROBIN Comic Book Artist, Cameron Stewart, was recently very inspired by Anne Hathaway's performance as Catwoman in the recent DARK KNIGHT RISES Batman Movie ( who wasn't? ) and after seeing the film he created this awesome pin-up art! Hey, if you're a big fan of Cameron's artwork then check out his website, CLICK HERE!
Here's a recent YouTube discovery! This video features a very talented Artist named Tess Fowler who showcases her artwork by showing it growing from a beginning pencil sketch to a finished inked/colored piece. This one is titled "Mama Harley and Her Babies".
Awhile back, on Facebook, I started to notice some very splendid artwork by an Artist named Stephanie Buscema. The 1st things I saw were very lovely Pin-Ups of Cute Girls that had a vintage retro-flair. Then, they appeared with a sort of "Halloween Ghoul" theme. These were all really cool. After checking them out I thought she had a lot of talent. Her artwork looks very much like the kind of Illustration you might see in Vintage 1940's or 50's Little Golden Books. At first they appear "simple". That is, until you notice all the very elaborate shading and complex shapes. Also, let me tell you, pulling off a "minimal-style" type of artwork like this is extremely difficult. Stephanie's art is very well-done! It's super super-cute without making your teeth ache, ha! Plus, her Pin-Up Women are actually very beautiful and represent the species well. 
OK so later, all of a sudden, she starts drawing Comic Book Heroines and Villains, POW! Characters like Batgirl, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Catwoman, and more! Now, this is where I think her work really sparkles! Don't get me wrong, her other stuff is great too, but these "New Superheroes" are fresh. In fact, I would love to see an entire Graphic Novel done this way! Maybe make it the exact size of a Little Golden Book with the Gold-Foil Spine. Even "animated" would be cool.
Anyways, I contacted her and she was sweet enough to share some of her amazing art with us. Because of space limitations I needed to edit her work down to just a few pictures but that proved to be wayyyy too difficult... because they're ALL SO AWESOME!! So, I'm just posting them all, right now, ha ha! ( Thanks Stephanie )

Here's a great piece of Batman Graphic Art I came across the other day while surfing the web. It's a HARLEY QUINN PIN-UP created by Ben Hickling. Ben is a Graphic Artist living in Bristol, England. I like the "Cartoon Style" and the 3-D rendering is pretty cool! To view more of his ART just click HERE!

Here's a neat piece of Bat-History! Here's a vintage graphic that was an ad inside a silver age BATMAN: THE BRAVE AND THE BOLD comic book ( #66 to be exact! ). It advertised that in "current" issues of Batman & Detective Comics they will have special full-page pin-up art featuring Batman & Robin. The artwork shown here is by the famous DC Comics artist Carmine Infantino, a fan favorite! Be sure to click on the above graphic for a larger, more detailed, version.
MEOW! Here's an extremely sexy Vintage Magazine Print Ad advertising Smirnoff Vodka. It features our, always lovely, Julie Newmar as a very pretty Cowgirl Pin-Up! It sort of reminds me of the art of Alberto Vargas or the classic pose of a George Petty girl. Either way, I know it will make Julie Newmar ( 1966 Catwoman ) Fans drool for hours! HUBBA HUBBA!
We think so! Ha Ha, Last year I was really surprised to get a "friend request" at my MySpace page from the real Julie Newmar. OK, it's probably her assistant, but it was still an honor! Julie Newmar is still alive & kickin' & just as feisty as she ever was. Of course we all know her as Catwoman from the 1966 TV Series. She was one of the very best villains on that show. To stay connected to her fans she created a MySpace page & the pin-up photo you see above is one of her latest pictures she released...MEOW! I had to think about if I was gonna post it or not because it's kinda too sexy & I do try to keep this blog clean, to a degree, because I know children visit here ( Kids love Batman ). But I thought, what's wrong with this picture? She looks great & it's not anything you wouldn't see on any billboard or magazine cover. Ya gotta admit, for a lady in her early 70's she still looks pretty good, meow!
For your viewing pleasure is this ever-so-delightful Black and White Pin-Up Photo of Julie Newmar!! Be sure to click the photo for a larger picture...it's sweet! Of course all Batman Fans know her as Catwoman from the 1960's TV series. As a MySpace member I was recently surprised to receive an invitation to join her Official MySpace page. OK, it was probably her publicist, but I was still deeply honored! She is one of the few Bat-Actors I have never met in person but my friends who have say she is the sweetest person in the world, that's awesome.
