Here are some more information for Roth Rat Fink:
Here is my chance to talk about my favorite artist of all time, Robert Williams. I was first exposed to his work back in art school, when I managed to get my hands on the infamous Zap Comics! I was knocked out when I first saw the erotic comic stuff of Robert Crumb, S. Clay Wilson, and of course, Robert himself.
In the mid 1980's I was again to be stunned when I saw his paintings at the Zero One Gallery in Los Angeles. He would have to be one of my major influences, so how lucky was I to have to have such a famous artist write the foreward to my art book The Red Box.
Mr. Williams has a long history of involvement in the American hot rod culture, and he was involved early on with Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, and Ratfink.
He started Juxtapoz Magazine in 1994, and is credited with starting the lowbrow art movement... a movement that began with hotrod art and "kustom kulture", but has grown to include so much more.
To say that Williams' art is pin up art is only part of the equation... it is cinematic, film noir, and heroic on the scale of 19th French salon painting. Here is a lowbrow artist with a great fine art pedigree. His work is included in many high profile art collections, and there is a waiting list to collect any of his pieces!
His psychedelic art includes devil girls, supervixens, femme fatales, punk rock girls, and everything phantasmagoric. Then he throws in the hot rod art, and it's quite a grand scale surrealist painting!
His most famous art work is probably his 1990's Appetite for Destruction album cover for the band Guns and Roses.
Stacy Lande is a Los Angeles based artist, and her pin up art is most often placed in the lowbrow catagory. Her book, THE RED BOX, from Last Gasp press, features introductions from Robert Williams and Frank Kozik. Stacy has had a lifelong obsession with pin up girls, and her erotic paintings explore the more allegorical side of pinups. Her subjects are femme fatales and devil girls, and her fascination with the succubus has prompted her work to be described as "predatory pinups". Stacy's paintings have been featured in magazine articles, notably Juxtapoz, Detour, and Hot Rod Deluxe; films, notably Gone in 60 Seconds starring Angelina Jolie and Nicholas cage; and art books, such as Weirdo Deluxe, from Chronicle Books, and Vicious, Delcious, and Ambitious, from Schiffer Books.

You will find plenty of distinctive gifts that you may give to a drag racing fan, but drag racing books have to be at the top of the list. Why? Since books consist of information and with information comes power. What the heck am I raving about? Well, think for a minute. What do race enthusiasts like to do? Watch racing, obviously.!!!.and drink beer. And what transpires when racing fans consume beer? They make bets about racing trivia.
Who ran the first 300 mile per hour pass in top fuel dragters? Do you know the name of the old drag strip at McGuire Air Force Base? In what state did the National Hot Rod Association really begin? The fan who knows these and all the other trivia about drag racing is not going to only win enough money to buy his spouse some thing nice, he'll have the ability to claim bragging rights as the most educated motor head around the block.
The next best thing to drag racing publications is merchandise. This may range from the valuable to the "what the heck is that?" What guy isn't going to really like his "Christmas tree" alarm clock or his "Drag Racing Maniac" hoodie? For cool, vintage things, stop by the local swap meets or eBay. You'll locate decals, posters, old magazines and plastic models. Keep a special look out for any Rat Fink memorabilia from "Big Daddy" Roth. It really is very collectible now.

what is the style of art work called that Ed Roth uses to create Rat Fink?
My opinion is that "Big Daddy" Roth created his own, unique genre with his illustrations.
It is, essentially, just his style of cartooning, no more a particular style than Berke Brethed's in Bloom County, Charles Schultze's in Peanuts, or any other cartoonist's style.
