It’s St Peter!!!
Mod note: I have absolutely no idea what this is in reference to, but as it was a submission rather than an askbox I can’t really reply and find out which post has been reblogged erronously (and I will admit now, I reblog things here because I find them on the St Sebastian tag or because someone submits them).

Here is a painting I did based on Saint Sebastian. It is titled “Boy Cried Wolf” and was done in 2012, oil/canvas, dimensions are 40 x 30.” I love your tumbler and would be quite pleased if you would consider adding it to your collection : )

I’ve been making a lot of little props for future shoots lately and I really like the little sticky arrows I made a few weeks ago. Thankfully when Erin was at my house recently she was a sport and let me try them out on her. Here is the result of the test.
Not sure how I feel about it, let me know what you think.
