POP ART: Custom-Painted 1966 Batman TV Show Postal Mailbox
OK, I recently discovered this photo that I lost but I knew my readers would love it so I'm posting it tonight, ha ha! Here's a custom-painted Metal Postal Mailbox that a friend of mine made. He had this old metal mailbox for years & it was all dented & everything. So he took it down, repaired the dents, re-painted it, & then got really inspired. His favorite TV Show is the 1966 Batman TV Series so he made a special graphic stencil of Batman & Robin climbing a rope. Do you remember the classic scenes where they were climbing up the side of a building & a window would pop open to feature a special guest? They had Jerry Lewis, "Lurch" from The Addams Family, The Green Hornet, & even Santa Claus! Well, he really loved those classic moments & decided to capture that image on the side of his mail box...very cool, we think he did a great job!!
