This isn't just some regular old Donkey-Kong-as-Jesus painting. Oh, no. It's much more. Dubbed "The Last Supper" and painted by artist Misha, the piece was originally shown at the 2006 I Am 8-Bit show. Hang on, like I said, there's more! The painting is apparently now hanging in Christina Aguilera's baby nursery. If that wasn't enough (it's not), Kotaku's Associate Editor Flynn De Marco has a Misha original tattooed on his bodice. There, all done!

Uh......
I...errr...umm....
wow?
@Figcoinc: agreed.
@Figcoinc: co-sign
Interesting choice of VG characters.
Mario plays the part of Judas, how fitting.
i have the sudden and uncontrollable urge to induce vomiting
This news is rather old, however theres two things I'd like to point out:
-I believe Mario is in Judas' seat
-Take a look at the mushrooms on the plates. Notice the one on Donkey Kong's? Its a poison mushroom.
Elaborate theories on these tidbits and more in my new book "The DaKong Code"
Oh wow, the atheist in me is laughing its ass off, but the christian in me is crying tears of shame.
@Figcoinc: ...Go on.
@Lijik: sidenote: pretty interesting..i'd like to preorder 5!
I've always been a bigger fan of Brandon Bird's take on the last supper:

Where' Jesus Christ (the user here in Kotaku)? He needs to change his Avatar.
What would DK do?
Is there a wallpaper size version of this pic?
Glad to see I wasn't the only one to notice Mario in Judas seat.
Why.... would she want it?
SOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNNNNNNNIIIIIIIICCCCC!
@Suigyoken: It shows good Catholic values?
Seriously though, that is one ugly painting. Poor kid is going to have nightmares.
@Seiven: Judas provided the 'shroom's that lead to Jesus' downfall? it's all making sense.
@Suigyoken: Well. When it comes to raising an iconoclast, if you're a pop star, you really have to go the extra mile to undermine the pressures of society in trying to create a sense of wonder around certain figures. For instance, Madonna had to teach her daughter to pole dance before kindergarten, so that the teacher didn't mess up her body self-image permanently.
Cute but doesn't hold a candle to Adi Nes' photographic interpretation of the same classic Da Vinci painting. (see [www.flickr.com])
The Nes prints at auction fetch several thousand times the price of Misha's adorable 8-bit versions, which are a real bargain!
I like the drawing. Flies in the face of sooo many things.
i'd hang that in my kids room too
:-)
good choice
lol..
winner.
somebody set DK up the bob-omb...
Oh, Jesus Christ.
Donkey Kong Jesus. He threw barrels for our sins.
Taizo Hori (Dig-Dug) MAKES this picture.
Kudos to her for hanging it in her baby's room. I'd do the same.
"I'll do big arms, and you just look at me and go, 'Ooh, he's doing big arms.'"
@MrSniffer: I followed the link hoping to see something out of the NES, but then I realized it was a last name.
@deathbunny: Let's just hope it isn't some plan to later on blame her child on being raised "wrong" due to all the video game related surrounded she brought her kid up in.... hah I really hope not...
Notice the "V" shape in the negative space between Peach and Kong.
This means they were totally doing it.
I think I want to see Flynn's tattoo. If it's on par with this, this Misha is truly a goddess.
Well I always likened a good round of Dig-Dug to a religious experience. Now we have PROOF!
Why is DK Jesus? Although if DK is Jesus, Mario makes perfect sense as Judas. And The Dog is there... That Dog...
Why that thing from the reptilia single boxart is in the painting >_>?
Religion is disgusting! It is a shame that it should touch gaming so often. It is the religious weirdos like JT that try to ban our favorite hobby. Why draw attention to something that should be buried and forgotten forever? A mark of an advanced society is one that has thrown off the shackles of "magical thinking".
@phrequency: @FrogJon: lol
clearly they hate dk enough to show him about to be poisoned and/blown up
So, anyone get the Da Vinci code reference?
...Anyone?
Awww, it took me 2 whole minutes to come up with that one.
*Is saddened*
I don't know what to think about this....
Does.... does this make her cool...
I'm going to have to go and re-evaluate a few key issues.
I knew I shoulda asked Christina Aguilera to marry me... she woulda been the Princess Peach to my Mario! Mama Mia~
@YUYU: I got it.
Reminds me of "The Shroud of Wally" in Dilbert.
mmmmmm Sacrilicious
That... dog...
Must be crucified!
Last supper my arse! Look at that blue sky; not a hint of evening on the horizon. Ladies and gentlemen, we're looking at the Last Lunch, at best.
The Bob-omb under the table may cause them to adjourn early, however.
@tenken: Come, come, now. The bomb-omb under the table symbolizes the ass DK just dropped. Look at that face. Pure sheepishness.
*does some quick referencing*
So... going by position... Mario is Judas Iscariot? Does this painting perhaps predate the capture of Peach, and Mario's subsequent defeat of Donkey Kong?
No one noticed the Bomb-On on Jesus Kong/Donkey Christ feet? Maybe poison is not the way to go after all..
DK Jesus. Wow.
Someone actually remembers Q-Bert? Oh my. Thats awesome. Now thats oldschool.
I'm outrageously outraged!
well thats kinda messed up, and a pretty ugly painting to boot, too.
