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.

Lana’s “Hey Diddle Diddle” Sleeve

I really like Erszabet‘s half sleeve, done in the theme of the “Hey Diddle Diddle” nursery rhyme, and the dog was drawn to look like her Jack Russell terrier Korndog.
