While her adorabl son was left unsupervised for literal milliseconds & decided to paint his entire body like SUPERMAN (good choice, bro), The Painted Laugh was born, inspired by creator Sonja Landis’ newly found condition. As her son’s laughter grew and -belly-giggles erupted, Landis began to see colors laughter swirling and circling thru the air, filling the room around them… Sonja later found out this was a triggered Synesthestic experience, a neurological condition where one sense (sound) crosses over and initiates a second sense (sight)… it changed the direction of her art and life forever, and ThePaintedLaugh was born. We at TLS have dubbed it Laughter Graffiti , in addition to a piece of art you’ll cherish forever and a day & a fab gift for an anniversary, birthday, graduation or holiday.
(See above for an example of ThePaintedLaugh’s one-of-a-kind interpretation of a child’s laughter. And make sure to check out Sonja’s bio, gallery of work, including hand painted pieces, and testimonials)

Awkward moments and sarcasm in general make me laugh. Oh, an babies when they first learn to walk, adorable 😉
My brother is one of the funniest people I know. His timing is impeccable and his delivery is spot on. And he’s awesome.
🙂
My girlfriends from college, and of course, my gays who are nothing but hilarious always
My husband. He is, hands down, the funniest person I know.
My sons simply crack me up! And I always say that I wish there was a way to bottle their laughs. This is pretty close!
the appearance of a vagina.
My daughter….she is so funny! I have dozens of stories…..like the time she leaned on a display in a cosmetics department knocking the mannequin into the tub on display. She tried to save her and brought me the “arm”…..omg!!!
You know, the usual…farts, dirty jokes, things shaped like penises. Real highbrow stuff.
Making fun of people—and giving them nicknames that they don’t know about!
My 3.5 year old daughter who, last night, called me “delectable”
My Love makes me laugh cause his expressions tell a thousand jokes and his antics are far funnier than anyone I know. He and I have our own special way of communicating so sometimes I end up laughing without a word passing between us. I get strange looks quite often when he and I together but I don’t care, it is so worth it.

moment!
I would say my co worker. We just traveled together from Hawaii to DC. She made me laugh. She’s funny when she grumbles. lol.

Payal is HYSTERICAL!
Dude, sometimes all I do is look at Christophe Jammet and he’s doing something funny with his face and I just die.

Kids and old people make me laugh the most. They have no filter.
Not going to lie…when people bump into things or trip I really can’t help myself. I know. I’m 8.
My son makes me laugh. He is 8, but he has an old soul and understands too much! He has a great sense of humor as well.
Lol My boss makes me LOL when she gives me the hairy eyeball…
My bro makes me laugh… He’s usually sarcastic or saying completely innappropriate things!
My niece is trying to convince her daddy to get her a puppy. “Daddy, can I have a puppy?” “No Juli you can’t have a puppy.” “Please daddy!” “No, i’m sorry Juli you can’t have a puppy.” The planning isn’t over for my niece. The next morning she wakes up and says to her mom “Mommy! I know what to do!” “About what Juli?” ” How to get a puppy! I will ask Santa because he can’t say no.” My sister realizes that she is already defeated by her 3 year old. In an attempt to distract Juli about the puppy she asks what would you like for your upcoming birthday. Juli’s response was “rainbows and pretty stuff, since I can’t have a dog.” Pure genius from a 3 year old. She keeps me laughing everyday.
My kids always make me laugh. My kids are hilarious!

My crazy coworkers and friends after a handful of drinks at happy hour – the end. 🙂
Yer mom.
No, just kidding. Kids are hilarious, youtube videos of animals falling asleep face first are hard to beat as well… but at the end of the day… the Honeybadger kills me.

my dog cracks me up
Let’s be honest my cousins have always made me laugh. God help me if I smoked a L before, then they really screwed with me till I couldn’t breathe. Monty Python, AB Fab, The Three Stooges, Funny is funny!!!.
My husband Keith is hysterical – it’s one of the biggest reasons I fell in love with him. When we are 80 our looks will be gone, but his sense of humor and ability to make me laugh will always be there.
My students! Kids have no filter..it’s great!
I am a tough cookie at times so it takes a lot to make me laugh but not so much to make me smile =)
it’s usually hard for me to so much of giggle unless there’s something joyful around me
but with that being said the single most hysterical thing… well persons that makes me laugh are my family and friends. They keep me going for days but now that I’m in college I don’t have too much laughter now.
It’s all seriousness and much nervousness and tension in the lectures and studios of SCAD-Atl lol, but I <3 it.

I need this lovely painting! I love the details but I would like to see the strokes of acrylic on the canvas up close in person. This painting was truly done out of love, it captured the true aesthetic of love and admiration in art.
All my kid’s make me laugh-but My 12 year old daughter makes me laugh the most-she is the beans to my ham hawks. She has a great personality and character. I think she is the happiest when she makes people laugh -specially me.
My husband makes me laugh more than anyone in the world.
