Thumper's latest foray into interpretive portraiture

It appears that our children are blessed with natural artistic talent.

Reminiscent of one of BallFiend's early works "Portrait of a scary-looking grandmother" -- which explores gender and the female archetype in modern Australian family life, juxtaposing warmth of the loving grandmother with that of the boogey-man, a one-eyed, saw-toothed Mr Man-like creature -- today Thumper unveiled her lastest work, inspired by the cover of the Australian Breastfeeding Association's funfilled activity book.
