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.

Let me axe you something

I know, I cringe too when I hear someone “axe” a question.   Yet seeing this newest addition to the galleries from the incredibly talented Joey Pang (Tattoo Temple in Hong Kong), made me think of things that can be axed.  I know Joey normally does her own designs, yet for some reason I feel I’ve seen this before, or possibly some variation of it.  I’m sure some of the more astute ModBlog readers will be able to find it, if it is indeed an adapted design.

Keep an eye on ModBlog this week for more of Joey’s work, including a floral piece that will blow your mind.

    Is it wrong that I expected this to be a click-through to a shot of a healed penectomy?

    Stylistically it reminds me a lot of the graffiti artist Banksy. Never saw a piece from him like this, but that’s what it made me think of.

    @Paul, that’s what I was thinking as well, well that or from some 70s exploitation film poster. But after hours of searching I came up with nothing.

    The cartoon was “stolen” from 60′s “Playboy” magazines….
    it’s called a Femlin, and they were used in the letters and advice columns.
