The Last Cupcake is a parody collage version of the iconic Last Supper, using women from different schools of art history. All gestures of the characters from the original last supper have been maintained as much as possible while giving it a completely new narrative.

"Being a catholic myself, the lack of visibility of women in religious art except for the virgin/whore thing always bothered me. This is like the ultimate answer through the ages. This may not have been in your mind when you made it but that's what it represents to me."
