The Art of Lisa Petrucci

News

February 25, 2024  

Welcome to my wonky website!

It’s been awhile since I’ve posted any News or Updated the website. When the new server migrated my website data last year, a lot of images and info got lost in the shuffle. I’m trying to fix everything, but there are sections of the website that I no longer even have access to! I didn’t design this website and am trying to patch it back together as best I can. Like for instance if you go the the Lil’ Lisa’s Pop Shop, some of the thumbnail information is outdated and incorrect. However, when you click on the Buy Now for a product it goes to the correct updated product info and prices. Also the sidebar with links to the Classic Hardware Jewelry and Kickass Kuties book don’t work anymore (and these items have been removed from Lil’ Lisa’s Pop Shop). You can buy my book KICKASS KUTIES – THE ART OF LISA PETRUCCI directly from Dark Horse Comics or perhaps out in the wild at your local comic book shop or online. Sorry for the confusion, inconvenience and thanks for your understanding. Also, please note that I no longer do International shipping on any items (due to hassles with the US postal service and customs). One of these days I’ll be updating the Gallery section with more images since ALL my paintings disappeared in the migration! The joys of technology! Yay!

LOWBROW ART / POP SURREALISM – The Origins / History Book from Italy

an Italian language book about these art movements compiled by Mauro Tropeano, is now available. The book features international OG’s of Lowbrow Art and Pop Surrealism including myself and colleagues: Robert Williams, Isabel Samaras, Ciou, Junko Mizuno, Glenn Barr, Anthony Ausgang, Mark Ryden, Marion Peck, Shag, Jennybird Alcantra, Camille Rose Garcia, Ed Roth, Joe Coleman, Gary Baseman, Travis Louis, Joe Sorren, The Pizz, Tim Biskup, Todd Schorr, Scott Musgrove, and others.
     Here’s the synopsis: While in the Eighties in America and in the world, in galleries and museums a taste for an increasingly conceptual art took root, in California, in particular between Los Angeles and San Francisco, they appeared, not too timidly, in the underground circuits, the first forms of what will be recognized as “lowbrow art” first and “pop surrealism” later.
     This volume traces the main guidelines that define the lowbrow culture which then gave way to an artistic current that from the United States has overwhelmed the rest of the world in the following decades, albeit with other forms and other languages, united among it gives them a common purpose: to flesh out the human soul by making its torments emerge in a carnival of colors and shapes, exorcising the darker sides of the subconscious.
The book is available from blurb.com

The Wonderfully Weird World of Lisa Petrucci video segment on Art Zone

Here’s the “Person of Interest” piece that was made by the incredibly talented (and patient) Chris Barnes for Art Zone with Nancy Guppy on the Seattle Channel. See me in my natural habitat, working at Something Weird Video and talking about my art and collectibles. But it’s mostly an homage and tribute to the great legacy of Mike Vraney. Featuring scenes from the Something Weird Greatest Hits record release party with The Sellwoods at Darrell’s Tavern!
