A black-and-white photo of a person mid-air in a Superman-style body suspension pose, supported by multiple hooks in their back and legs, smiling joyfully toward the camera. They are suspended horizontally in a large indoor space with high ceilings and visible rigging. A group of onlookers—some seated, some standing—watch with expressions of admiration, amusement, and support. The atmosphere is lively and communal, capturing a moment of shared experience and transformation.

Fold My Hands and Pray For Rain


This outstanding, twisted rendering of some damned undead fellas just cold tearin’ apart a defenseless farm sow was tattooed by Tim Biedron at Deluxe Tattoo in windy Chicago. The images were entitled, “Poor Cashew,” but I can’t tell if this is an original piece or an adaptation of something else—if anyone knows, please fill us in. Otherwise, just enjoy this glorious grotesqueness for what it is. A few more shots, after the jump.

    It’s an original design, cooked up in my brain and wonderfully executed by Mr. Biedron. Cashew is what I named the cow…. 😉
