where is the image you have as a header from?
it is very cool
It's some art I found via Google images for Japanese Saints. Having looked further into it, it's apparently from an art collection made by Japanese Artist Takato Yamamoto, titled "Divertimento for a Martyr".

Takato Yamamoto and Heisei Aestheticism  !!
Discovered Yamamoto’s work in high school and still remain a huge fan of his work, I love love him 😊 He will remain as one of my most influential artists
“Influence of ukiyo-e with Japanese pop art and Western gothic art. Yamamoto coined the term “Heisei Estheticism” to define a style of art encompassing themes of darkness, bondage, metamorphosis, love and death. The dark, brutal narratives within Yamamoto's paintings never reveal acts of violence.”
Takato Yamamoto – Exploring the Erotic World of Takato Yamamoto’s Art
Yamamoto’s art is replete with recurring themes such as adolescence and deterioration, purity and devastation, gloom and brightness, terror and attraction. He combines the bizarre and the sexual.
Yamamoto’s subjects are frequently confrontational, capturing your attention with their striking look. Pain and joy, life and death, enslavement and surrender—all of these are frequently intertwined. 
“Takato Yamamoto is drawn to depicting renowned Western stories such as Salome and Saint Sebastian. His vivid representations of sex and death are reminiscent of the works of Aubrey Beardsley, an English illustrator who was one of the most controversial artists of the Art Nouveau era. 
Saint Sebastian was a religious martyr and saint who is supposed to have been murdered during the oppression of Christians by Roman Emperor Diocletian. In literature and art, he is frequently shown bound to a pillar and slain with arrows. He is considered a martyred saint by the Eastern Orthodox Church, and the Oriental Orthodox Church. Since the Renaissance, painters have found the picture of the martyr Sebastian to be a popular topic.”
