Caiaphas and Annas (originally: Kajafás és Annás) 2025 Watercolour on paper

It's been almost half a year ago that I decided that today I would post ship art of them (as a small act of defiance, but also because I genuinely ship them, and also they are my favourite characters in Jesus Christ Superstar). Now I have fulfilled my plan. And if anything, by now that small act of defiance feels more meaningful to me than it did when I first decided I should.

I give to you fanart of Caiaphas and Annas from Jesus Christ Superstar 1973!! I obviously ship them, their dynamic is evil married couple.

The illustration is a direct reference to the song "This Jesus Must Die" (give it a watch, it's incredible)

I love their portrayal in Jesus Christ Superstar 1973 (as a retelling of the biblical narrative and not considering the real historical events). It convey their strategic thinking and worries concerning their own power, which are shown in the book of John.
