Virgin Mary out of Japanese Comics


A really great piece I noticed from across the room. It's a Japanimation version of Mary, complete with typical wink, tongue, and not so typical "wardrobe malfunction". It was done as a collage of little pieces of Japanese newspaper and comic books.

Post Script: I stand corrected. After a little bit of footwork, it appears that Mary was often depicted with a breast exposed and it was only after the renaissance that her exposed breast appeared less in public. Janet Jackson shoulda brought this up.
