BUMPS OF ART: DAD CREATES MASTERPIECES ON PREGNANT MUM'S TUM

A talented artist has created artwork with a KICKIN' twist by painting on his pregnant wife's bump. Alex Makwana, 29, of Salisbury, Wiltshire, has painted everything from Despicable Me's minions to a scene from The Lion King on wife Jo, 34. The doting dad began painting when Jo was seven months pregnant, as Jo's belly wasn't big or solid enough to be painted on beforehand. Alex was inspired to paint the detailed designs, which include a Kinder Egg and a scan of his baby, after seeing a baby bump painting online.
