Ada is into Super Heroes. I'm not sure how this came about because it's not something Andrew or I talk about and she's never watched commercial television (we like to avoid ads). But, somewhere in her short little life she has developed a fondness for Batman and Superman. I was particularly tickled to find this 1960's Batman poster from the market on the weekend for a very tiny sum. It's quite large (110cm x 90cm) and a bit banged up and has been pinned on a wall for the last 40+ years but it has loads of character, is beautifully screen printed and has a real pop art vibe with all the shading made up of lots of tiny dots. Iv'e had to undertake a bit of minor restoration and will probably need to get it linen backed if I want it to last but I think it's a worthy cause. the only problem now is that I want it in the living room and Ada wants it in her bedroom.....hmmm

Kapow! Great find, Batman!
ReplyDeleteLook at those powerhouse thighs of steely goodness!
Same, same. No commercial tv for my kids, and yet some serious Superheroes worhipping. Excellent find!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! I totally love superhero/comic book stuff, what a brilliant poster. No commercial TV for our kiddy too, so happy ABC for kids doesn't have ads!
