Mary seriously needs to work on her aim, though Shrunken Head Christ certainly isn’t helping.
Everything in this post is crazy awesome. Neil Gaiman’s commentary, the website he linked to (www.art-breastfeeding.com, seriously why does this even exist) and the fact that there’s a whole tumblr dedicated to the fact that no one ever seems to be able to properly paint a baby.
