Love the art on the building at the beginning, the Gorey, and the poem links. Interesting to see the variety of all. Thanks, Tabatha.
ReplyDeleteCool subject, Tabatha. Bats are such misunderstood creatures!
ReplyDeleteThe bat on the building with the little boy is excellent. The Vase of Bats is downright spooky; can't see having it on display in our house, but I like it just the same.
The Modern Heroes statue of Batman is beautiful...Batman should look so good!
