The Seven Deadly Sins.

A mini-series,depicting the infamous septet of vices we can all fall victim to.The title of each is in the piece itself.



I wanted to depict hatred without showing an actual act of physical violence.


Rather than depict someone fondling money,jewelry or any specific token of wealth,I chose to keep the object unspecified,because one can get greedy about anything.


Didn't get the promotion,eh?


Some who've seen this say that it looks like Mr. Creosote from the movie "Monty Python's The Meaning Of Life".While that wasn't the specific intention,I was thinking along those lines,the bizarre juxtaposition of someone in an expensive suit in an elegant restaurant,stuffing himself like someone in some cheap "all-you-can-eat" buffet,without any thought to his appearance or the inevitable consequences to his health.



Note the one doing the lusting is some pathetic,aging swinger,while the gender of the object of his lust is left to the imagination of the viewer.



See the dead rat on the carpet?


Since vanity can affect either gender,I made this character androgynous.
