1966 Batman Trading Cards

Norman Saunders is an artist who painted trading cards, comic books and commercial works throughout the '50s and '60s. He created this amazing collection of Batman trading cards back in 1966.

While he might be best known for painting the infamously banned Mars Attacks cards, his work with Batman brings a level of shark-fighting, acid-throwing, sidekick-endangering action and a slightly off-model Joker that's just fantastic.

The Girl with Seven Horses

'The Girl With 7 Horses' is a creative project by photographer Ulrika Kestere based on a fairy tale about seven imaginary horses that come to life within her photographs.

The fairtale story goes: Once upon a time there was a girl who had 7 invisible horses. People thought she was crazy and that she in fact had 7 imaginative horses, but this was not the case. When autumn came the girl spent a whole day washing all her clothes. She hung them on a string in her garden to let the gentle autumn sun dry them. Out of nowhere, a terrible storm came and its fierceful winds grabbed a hold of all her clothes and all seven horses (authors note: since they are invisible they obviously didn't weigh much). The girl was devastated and spent all autumn looking for each horse spread around the country, wrapped in her clothes.
