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.

On a Wing and a Peel

You gotta love big scar pieces that incorporate geometry.

Expect to see more of Kcir‘s scarification work here as he sent in quite a few photos including a couple that are going to make great Friday Follow-up pieces.

    The design is interesting, but the cutting (technically speaking) does not seem to be very defined (clean-cut).

    was this intended as a sports logo or is that just coincidence that theyre in the playoffs?

    wow. i’m honored to be modblogged after being a member for such a short amount of time. thank you guys for the kind words.

    @pharmacist : this piece is over 2 years old, and neither of us is a big sports fan, so any similarities are purely coincidental.

    @dusk : thanks for the critique, i am always trying to improve.

    @san : any particular technical aspects you are concerned with, or is that just a general dislike for my work?

    I’ll admit, you are improving. It’s just not consistent.

    Lines are not matched and the geometrics are not geometrical. More planning is needed on the lay out.

    The inconsistent lines came out just fine in the end… This pic isn’t even the finished product of that particular sitting. And some of the work has been re worked and added to since this picture was taken over 2 years ago. I have had more work done by KCIR and am very pleased with the improvements in his techniques.
