SOUSA, Ana Matilde Diogo de. Pixiv Kids: young female Japanese creators in online artistic communities. []. , 4, 7, pp.77-91. ISSN 1647-6158.
At a time when Japanese pop culture becomes, increasingly, a phenomenon of global relevance - in contemporary art as well - virtual artistic communities like Pixiv (ピクシブ) allow us to come into contact with the work of a new generation on nipponese authors. I will briefly analyze works by six of them, focusing on the appropriation of the manga-anime visual language, as well as kawaii ("cute") aesthetics.
