I know of a few pieces of toast that has images of the likeness of Jesus burnt into , no difference.
Being that the artists who make up the art illustrations for the WTS. are actual JWS in Bethel Headquarters,
you shouldn't expect the art to be of high quality. Perhaps on occasion there might be an intentional image drawn into
the greater body of the illustration but what do expect from people who are brainwashed JW religious cult members.
Take a good analytical view of most illustrations from religious organizations and you'll probably find strange images intensionally
and perhaps unintentionally among the art illustrations created by its devout members.

Concerning religious imagery, there are constantly occurring incidences of what is called Pareidolia
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A well-known example of pareidolia: A satellite photo of a mesa in Cydonia, often called the Face on Mars. Later photographs from other angles destroyed the illusion. Pareidolia (
/ p ær ? ' d o? l i ? / parr-i-DOH-lee-? ) is a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant. Common examples include seeing images of animals or faces in clouds, the man in the moon or the Moon rabbit , and hearing hidden messages on records played in reverse. The word comes from the Greek para- ("beside", "with", or "alongside", in this context meaning something faulty or wrong, as in paraphasia , disordered speech) and eidolon ("image"; the diminutive of eidos – "image", "form", "shape"). Pareidolia is a type of apophenia .There have been many instances of perceptions of religious imagery and themes, especially the faces of religious figures, in ordinary phenomena. Many involve images of Jesus , the Virgin Mary , or the word Allah .
In 1978, a New Mexican woman found that the burn marks on a tortilla she had made appeared similar to the traditional western depiction of Jesus Christ's face. Thousands of people came to see the framed tortilla. [2]
Publicity surrounding sightings of religious figures and other surprising images in ordinary objects has spawned a market for such items on online auctions like eBay . One famous instance was a grilled cheese sandwich with the "Virgin Mary"'s face. [3]
In September, 2007, the so-called " monkey tree phenomenon " caused a minor social mania in Singapore . A callus on a tree resembled a monkey , and believers flocked to the tree to pay homage to the "Monkey god" (either Sun Wukong or Hanuman ). [4]

Before you judge this new contributor too harshly, check out his website and look at the article about the Masonic hand signals. I'm not saying that I support everything that is being claimed, but what he suggests makes for interesting conversation.
There has been a great deal written on the subject of subliminal imagery. I remember reading Vance Packard's book, "The Hidden Persuaders" back in the 1970s. But much of what is claimed is true. It applies to the colors on a box of corn flakes, a soft drink can, and book covers. Some will attract and some will repel. People are drawn to imagery based on their nationality and ethnicity.
My guess (based on some training I took during my professional career) is that most of the fashion and perfume ads in magazines like Vanity Fair and Esquire have little teasers implanted in them. Sometimes all you have to do is to look at an ad upside down or sideways and images will pop right out at you.
So don't be so quick to poo-poo the possibility of the artists and Photoshop technicians at Watchtower HQ art department either (a) having a little fun at the Governing Body's expense ("Oh, yeah. See if those old geezers can see the ram's head in this image when they approved this article..."), or (b) having some direction by the article writers who want to leave more of an impression on JW sheep than boring words written at a 4th grade reading level.
I realize that some of the examples shown in the past are a little over the top or extremely long stretches of the imagination. But on the other hand, ask yourself, "why did the artist choose that particular picture on the wall or put that upside down, gravity defying wrinkle, in Jesus' robe?"

More than likely out of bad or incompetent artistic skill.
People who are purporting to see things in art are usually playing with a their own perceived visual psychology.
Yes, sometimes one can perceive a likeness in imagery which is not intensional but rather because of their close psychical resemblance.
