For a religion assignment the task was to create a religious artwork. Commercial Jesus was created. His clothing and halo are made out of advertising catalogues. The rest of the picture is a combination of drawing and painting.

There are many ways you could interpret this artwork, such as a comment on the commercialisation of religion or the corruption of religion which is often run like a business in order to capture the money of the gullible. Or maybe this is just the new way in which Jesus is going to be marketed.

I do not believe the original Jesus was caucasian, but I chose to represent Jesus here as a stereotyped white Jesus as this is the image most recognised in modern media; and like advertising it is just as misleading.

In progress...this is before I added a lot of shadows. You can see what the ads looked like before I partially painted over them

The finished Jesus.
