American Gothic Superhero Parody
"Call Before You Gig" is a classic parody. Batgirl and Robin are finally married and living in a house of their own, far from the watchfull eye of Batman. Independent, young, energetic and a bit ignorant, they seek to beautify their property by doing their own landscaping. Robin, seeking to impress the lovely Batgirl, digs a bit too deep, blowing up the yard and catching the house on fire. This is an actual problem for many and great caution should always be employed when digging deep in one's own yard. A simple call ahead can prevent disaster.
Some of my favorite things about this painting...
This is a popular Grant Wood painting for parody artists, however what sets this one apart is that I was able to find some photographs of the actual house that the painting was modelled after giving me a real perspective on the rest of the "yard" I was going to blow up!
Also, I painted a very large reproduction of another Grant Wood painting for the movie "A Simple Plan"
