Well, babies DO eat your brains. Everyone I’ve ever known who calves instantly becomes a shell of their former selves for at least the next several years.
That baby needs to go on one of those overweight toddler specials they have on Maury or whoever else does them… Gotta stop feeding the kid so many brains.
But at least I’m getting tips on “how not to dress my future babies.”
Concerning the style, I can’t help but see similarities with the paintings of the “Say what!” guy. I think it’s so easily recognisable it deserves to be considered an official style and be taught at art schools around the world. Let’s call it “art lame”.
Academic description of art lame:
stiff hands
no depth of field whatsoever
clearcut colors (to be polite)
awkwardly treated tabou subjects
i don’t think this person is actually familiar with babies. a baby that size that can sit up and kiss?
and young children’s kisses aren’t slobbery. I would say they’re thinking more of dogs, but then this would be a painting of a mauling.
Big thick black eyebrows? Check. Old fashioned clothing? Check. Ability to do things that a real baby could never do at that size? Check. Evil intentions? Check, check, check. All this “baby” needs is a cigar and and a big old timey pram and it would be one of those man posing as baby villains from “Our Gang”.
Back in the 70′s, my brother had a GI Joe doll (with real hair!) that looked just like this guy. It’s nice to see that he’s staying fit and raising a family.
If the artist wanted to portray the sweetness of baby kisses, she needs to work on that man’s expression, which looks disturbingly like he’s crying out in pain. Unless you get off on that sort of thing, pain is not sweet.
But yes he does look like the GI Joe with the fuzzy hair and beard!
Once again, I find myself wishing that someone on Etsy sold lessons in perspective and anatomy. Those teachings were sorely lacking wherever some people figured out how to slap paint onto canvas.

Scroll down spit-take. The Gatorade, it burns the nose.

I’ve always been of the mind that you need to eat the babies before they eat you. This proves it.
October 15, 2010 at 5:01 pm
Looks to have been a race that the baby won.

I want my baby back baby back baby back

Daddy has hair made from left over wall to wall carpeting, nevermind that he’s eating his young.
October 15, 2010 at 5:04 pm
Wouldn’t a child that small not be able to hold it’s own head up?
Course… if it’s main diet consists of brains it’s probably getting lots of protein…
October 15, 2010 at 5:08 pm
She obviously gets her brains from daddy….
October 15, 2010 at 5:14 pm
I’m a fan of zombie novels. Which one is this beautiful family story from?

Sweet baby Jesus.

Quoting someone else…I love babies. I just can’t finish a whole one.

This piece can also double as a plug for “The Walking Dead” coming on AMC later this month.

This is why I don’t have children.

I knew there was a reason I didn’t like holding babies.
October 15, 2010 at 5:40 pm
Not only does it consume your head, I bet it swallows your soul too.
October 15, 2010 at 6:07 pm
Something tells me that mom ate the placenta.
October 15, 2010 at 6:07 pm
I’m having trouble seeing it as a baby. It looks more to me like a little person in an old-fashioned bathing suit.
Which, surprisingly, does not make the picture any less disturbing for me.

When did The Rock start eating small children?
October 15, 2010 at 7:19 pm
I’m not even going to ask why “daddy” is nekkid.
Nope. Not going to.

I love babies! They’re great with ketchup.
October 15, 2010 at 8:26 pm
I burst out laughing, I’m not gonna lie.

Oh HELL NO!!! Dear God in heaven, every time I think it can’t get worse, it does.
(Which is why I keep checking this site all the time. I know, I know … *SIGH*)

If he could afford to get that kid a swim cap, you’d think he could afford to get her a one-piece.
October 16, 2010 at 12:23 am
Also: This is a perfect example of a symbiotic relationship!

It’s a sad day for men when they start using a forest floor as hair.

It would actually be less disturbing if it were a picture of a mauling, but that’s just me.

The wedding ring looks like it was added as an afterthought…to make the situation less potentially disturbing. Yup. Worked like a charm. *eye roll*

Lionel Richie! Leave my baby alone!!!
October 16, 2010 at 9:36 am
It may be strange but the part that freaks me out the most is that baby’s pinky finger.
October 16, 2010 at 9:37 am
Or, the more I look at it, the baby’s whole hand.

You know, I often tell my son that he’s so cute I could just eat him up, but this isn’t exactly what I mean.

Am I crazy or is the “artist”? Where are the eyes and the baby’s mouth?

October 16, 2010 at 3:49 pm
that is more of a “love bite” if you ask me
October 16, 2010 at 5:17 pm
The fact that the baby was able to chew through the skull to get to the brains is what impresses me.
October 16, 2010 at 5:19 pm
Gah! Now I think I’ll embrace my impending alzheimer’s because then I can forget that I ever saw this.
October 16, 2010 at 5:56 pm
I know what’s wrong with this picture. That baby has tarantula eyelashes. Gah. I’m sick of the sexualizing of our youth.
October 16, 2010 at 7:27 pm
Build up the jewfro a bit and that guy looks frighteningly like my husband. Don’t know where he got the baby though.
October 16, 2010 at 7:57 pm
Here’s a helpful tip to tell if the baby is ripe enough to eat shake it.

God forbid! if this is the ‘magic and sweetness of babyhood’ and ‘a fond memory to be cherished’ , what the hell is going to happen when it grows up?
October 17, 2010 at 11:17 am
You got to eat those cute little succulent legs before the kneecaps fully form.
October 17, 2010 at 1:59 pm
finally no more having to write out those annoying “notices” to all the schools, daycares, etc in your new neighborhood!
October 17, 2010 at 5:25 pm
Hair on his lips, Cleopatra hands, a nail stuck in his ear, a no-eyed, no-mouth, -no eared baby in a bikini and the world around them is solid blue.
Yes, its original alright.
October 18, 2010 at 5:20 am
I’m hungry now.

That belongs in the Museum of Bad Art, which really exists. In the basement of a local movie theater. On the way to the men’s bathroom.
