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.

WHAM BAM!

I am a big fan of IAM:Superdirk‘s new knuckle tattoos, done by Forrest at Dragon FX Kingsway in Edmonton. Thanks to Lexci for sending in the photos.

    That reminds me of two things: Batman shows a long time ago where it says “POW!” and “KABOOM” etc.. and what my teacher said in class “WHAM BAM! Thank you Ma’am!”

    I think that the cartoon of me getting knocked (Nate ‘the Rock’ Quarry Style) is great!!! But I gotta say, I’m a little disapointed that Lex and Dirk gave me no credit in this.. I mean, afterall, I did take an ass kickin’ from Dirk.. All Lex did was take the picture.. haha cheers guys! I’m just glad I could be involved in something so funny!
