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.

    Haha, yes, Chris needs to adorn more people. The man, the legend!

    Still deciding which image of his I’m going to put on myself, never thought that one would look good, but damn, quite effectful when doing it in that color scale 🙂

    Christopher Walken rocks.

    “I wore that uncomfortable hunk of metal up my ass for 5 years” Haha. I like regualr Walken better than Zombie Walken but it’s an awesome idea.

    In the velvet darkness of the blackest night…there is a guiding star. No matter what or who you are….

    There’s a light…over at the Walkenstein place.
    There’s a light…burning in the fireplace.
    There’s a light, light…
    In the darkness of everybody’s life.
