This also fits the description.

Akiane Kramarik painted this portrait of Jesus when she was only eight. There's a lot more to that story. Google it if you are interested.

I kinda like this one based on computer-generation from the Shroud of Turin:

Seems Randy's not quite as sceptical of the OP as he claimed.

I've seen paintings of gods, angels, demons, cherubs, Martians and sea dragons. Wake me when there's a Polaroid of Jesus. Until then - I'm not wasting my time on it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

If anyone claims to have a Polaroid of Jesus, walk away quickly.

Yet you're claiming the above paintings as evidence; essentially Polaroids. I don't see the difference.

No no, walk away VERY slowly, maintaining eye contact and dialing the appropriate number on your phone

Maintaining eye contact may worsen the situation.

The earliest depiction of "jesus" from 3d century Doura Europos on the Euphrates River.

Clean-shave, toga-wearing, philosopher-type.  Once again, a common image for people of the time.

Or, this one from the crypt of Ampliatus in the catacombs in Rome.

In fact, given how ubiquitous digital cameras are nowadays, it ought to be almost commonplace to have pictures of Jesus flying around the place.
