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.

PRESENTED IN GLORIOUS EXTRA COLOR!

Well, black..

Dean and Hank on IAM: ishiverandshake and her housemate.

    I absolutely love The Venture Bros. and those tattoos are clean and clever and just put a huge smile on my face. They’re even cooler for being on two different people. Well done!
