I have a new hero
August 27th 2007 -
And that would be artist Mark Newport.
I was reading about this exhibit, when I had to stop and go “Wait…is that a Fantastic Four uniform in the background?”
Yes, it is. And it’s all hand knitted.
Check out this previous exhibit Newport had in Seattle, with several hand knitted superhero costumes. The Captain America one is pretty sweet:

I’m also in love with this print, and this photograph of Spider-man knitting his costume is so charming that almost kind of wish that it were canonical.
