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.

Elephant Rib Panel

I love this piece (still in progress of course) by Nik Moore at Scarab in Syracuse… But really, I like anything elephant related when it comes right down to it. The mouse is a nice touch too!

    There’s a lot of good work showing up on here lately.

    Shannon, you gotta follow this stuff up when it’s finished. Same with that other dude, with the really colorful upper body work. At least link where we can see the whole thing. 🙂

    This guy is amazing with his tattoo work. Just like a painting, but with more pain. Happy to be getting work done by him as well.
