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.

“I guess it is possible after all”

I’ve been working on software today, so there hasn’t been time to write, but I wanted to show you this — Pauly Unstoppable reaches 1 1/2″ nostrils! Biggest stretched nostrils I’ve seen yet. It’s pretty intense… you can see the inside of his head!

    Mmm — as someone who suffers a myriad of ear, nose & throat issues I’d be mostly concerned about being increasingly susceptable to infections as well.

    Not to mention getting things like dirt & dust in the nasel cavity.

    I’m glad I drew him when I did. His nose has a completely different shape now.
    Not that I’m opposed to the current shape. 🙂

    That’s so impresive! I would be interested in doing that (on a much smaller scale of course) except that it would be very difficult to swim underwater which I love to do… 🙁

    I know i LOOKS like its going inside his head… but i hope everyone knows that it doesn’t actually have a straight line to his brain.. lol Sinuses… aaah sinuses.

    There are alot of people out there living with not much of a nose due to accidents, birth defects or cancers or tumors, and really… the WHOLE sinus track starts from the nostril and ends at the throat and near the ears.. so having a hole there won’t change much.. he still has the protective layers and mechanisms of his sinuses, and his body WILL adapt to the holes… to maintain proper homeostasis, it will probably grow more of the tiny hairs lining the sinuses to catch bacteria/dust/dirt before it gets in too far… same concept as to what happens in the nose.. for him it just happens higher!

    LOL i find it funny that my first thought, as a nurse, was how great of a patient he would be to install an NG tube. It would be so easy.. lol just pop it in the sinus cavity.. its got that much less to travel and that much less twists and turns. lol
