So I ran across this image in my surfing.  Harry Potter in the arm’s of Draco Malfoy.  I googled and found many, many copies of the image.  But not one credited the artist or said anything about the artist.  I kept looking and found the image was one of many.

Details and pics after the jump.  If you don’t like the image above, there’s a saying “As above, below” but probably more so.

The artist goes by the name of Eneada and appears to be located in Russia and identifies herself on LifeJournal as 23 years old.

She has an online gallery of Harry Potter images that she calls Slash.  All homo-erotic, mostly male (yes, there’s actually one of Hermione with Cho, Harry’s female crush from the films).

Below are more in the series of Harry & Draco which I find satisfyingly artistic, irreverent, fun, and a little naughty.

Harry & Draco in the Dungeon

Harry Potter and the Pulsing Tattoo

Harry Potter and the Rumpled Sheets

The image concepts aside, what sort of fascinates me is understanding what, exactly they are.  Are they photo-realistic drawings? Photographs that have been edited with Photoshop, to merge a movie still with models posed and a patina of shadow and color superimposed? I recommend the whole site, although, of course, the caveat about racy content and some odd or disturbing pairings (young Sirius & young Jim Potter or Draco and his father, etc.).

The Last Supper or The Last Cylon?

What the frak?!? Coasting down Melrose Avenue this morning, I looked up and saw this image.

Does it look familiar to you? It did to me, too. Let’s compare this great billboard with the famous image it’s inspired by after the jump.

Note that in the original painting The Last Supper by Leonardo Da Vinci, there are twelve disciples plus Jesus.

In the Battlestar Galactica image, there are twelve figures total. Remember, BSGers, there are Twelve Colonies and apparently twelve models of Cylons.

According to Moore there are clues in the image that will give some hints on season 4

Is this some sort of Da Vinci Code? Reportedly:
