About the artwork
As you can see Tony is so enveloped in his newfound awesome role that he has had an image of his swaddled baby tattooed onto his stomach. I%u2019m kidding of course, but the only thing stopping him was the potential embarrassment to his child as pointed out by the offspring%u2019s mother, otherwise he would have so done it! I think that the nurturing passion of parenthood has a slightly different manifestation between mother and father in that a mother is fiercely protective of her child and uses her wit and guile to guard them against danger instilling in them the knowledge they will require to navigate this great but testing world. A father however on the whole will basically tear the still beating heart from your chest and grind it into the dirt in front of you if you so much as even think about harming a single hair on their head!! Or is that just me, I mean Tony, that would be, erm Tony, yes definitely not me! Ok some mothers are also like this.
