This is the latest art trend going on in latino art community
In the latino side of the internet, there's this ongoing joke of doing "curis" – that is, doing redraws over a pre-existing picture or video, with a hilarious purpose.
They've been a thing for a while, but lately, one particular subject has exploded in popularity among artists: Pie Man, or Hombre Pie.
The facebook page Curi Simpsons had been posting some curis of Pie Man for a while, but the trend started after youtuber El Pato Nocturno Investiga made a coupe of videos on the superheroes of Springfield and about Pie Man using these thumbnails:
After this videos, the whole art community started making Pie Man curis and fan art recreating iconic comic book or superhero movies moments and covers!
It got to the point that fans started developing his lore, like his rivalry/friendship with Radioactive Man...
and the death of Cupcake Kid...
and his return as Bartman...
It has gotten beyond just making fan art and curis, and now there are cosplayers...
and even fan animations! Here delivering Superman's speech to Elx from the latino dub.
You can go to the previously linked Curi Simpsons page to see more fan art, where all these pieces are from, with links to the respective ones!
