Lithoprint on tin
Peter Blake, 2001
Bobbie Rainbow is the daughter of Babe Rainbow, a fictitious lady wrestler, who
in turn was the daughter of the infamous Doktor K. Tortur.
Bobbie's father is unknown, but she was born during 1976, when Babe
was living and wrestling in New York (for a brief period in 1973 she was the world
champion), and her most likely father is Ebony Superman, who was also world
champion at that time.
Bobbie is wearing the championship belts, and famous leather hat passed
on to her by Babe, when she retired from the ring in 1989. She is currently
wrestling in the U.S.A and around the world.
Bobbie bears an uncanny resemblance to her mother.

Peter Blake
Peter Blake is widely regarded as the godfather of British Pop art and the Young British Artists movement (YBA).
Blake created paintings, collages and prints that blend modernity and nostalgia. Though best known for designing the album cover for the Beatles’ Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, he considered painting to be central to his oeuvre. While celebrity figures such as Marilyn Monroe informed Blake's work, folk art, fairground signs and an overall sense of nostalgia influenced his style.
In 1997, at the age of 65, Blake emotionally retired from painting and entered what he called his "late period." Afterward, he continued to work but was no longer interested in the art world’s opinion of his art, instead creating what he wanted regardless of its relation to his previous artworks over the course of his career.
