Seven Deadly Sins: Greed

Seven Deadly Sins: Greed

UPDATE:  GET THIS AND OTHER DEADLY SINS T-SHIRT, POSTERS ETC AT OUR STORE

One of the projects I have been working on as of late is to add some things to my online store.   One idea I came up with was to do t-shirts and posters of the Seven Deadly Sins.  Rather than make them ominous characters, I went more for cute.  The Seven Deadly Sins are “a classification of the most objectionable vices that has been used since early Christian times to educate and instruct followers concerning (immoral) fallen humanity’s tendency to sin.”

Given each sins call for very different personalities, I thought it would be a great challenge to myself to draw each of them.

Every day this week, I will post a new Deadly Sin.  Today is Greed.    I find myself greedy with my time more than money.  I need to find more volunteer opportunities.

Spill it…who out there is Greedy?

    Not me, Gov

    I’ll put my hand up to sloth, though, when you get to it – folk are always calling me a ‘lazy bugger’

      We aren’t lazy Dunc…we are strategically saving our energy in case of emergency.

      Damn you Duncan, that was mine. OK Bearman, put me down for greed….alcohol counts, right?

      1. Bearman Avatar

        You can be both.

    I’m not greedy. But when you come to Lust I will plead the fifth.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think that was a possible admissable confession.

          That’s for all your commenting last week…that’s why I was so confused as to what your blog is from week to week.

    …when it comes to Ovaltine—I admit to wanting all of it…now…

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think you are the only one who still actually drinks that stuff.

      1. Ron-Yves Avatar

        More for me.

        Hey—the World Cup ends today…fyi 🙂

      Where were you with that sage advice 20 hours ago.

    Now I’m feeling one of the common emotions of religion – guilt. I can not think of the seven sins. The little tongue is a good touch. Gives the appearance of tasty greed.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      He is licking his lips thinking of all the money he is going to count.

    I’m not greedy but lustful is another story

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think that is in demand…I’ll have to post it next.

  11. MJ Avatar

    Ha! It’s more of that change that was promised by our fearless leader.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Only person that likes change is a wet baby.

  12. DadaHyena Avatar

    Maybe give them names that are alliterate to their specific sin?

    Alice Avarice? Sam Sloth? Gary Glutton?…well, screw that idea.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      I think you just came up wtih your next storyline.

    I saw this on facebook yesterday but I was on my phone and couldn’t get a good look at it. This should be an interesting week. Great job so far.

    I think I’m Dopey. Oh, wait, this isn’t the seven deadly dwarfs, is it? 🙂

    This sounds like a great idea, Bearman! I can’t wait to see how the rest of the line looks.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Me either..haha

    Great idea, Bearman. It’s not fair, though. I WANT that idea! I WANT it! I WANT it! 🙂

      Well when you get back from playing with Pottery you can do it too.

    Cool picture. I just brought the page up with both. They go so well together. Looking forward to more.

    Meanwhile, I have a feeling I’ve been following the same prompts to write my drabbles. Why is everyone thinking about deadly sins? Is it something deadly in the weather?

    1. Bearman Avatar

      When I was on vacation, I saw a little statue of one of the deadly sins. Thought it would be fun.

    I don’t want for too much… just time to draw, some good music and cold beer! I guess you can call me greedy when it comes to chocolate chip cookies!! MMMMM

    of all the sins i’d say i’m least guilty of this one. only because i don’t get too concerned about material bullshit.

    although this is a material world and i am a material girl.

    aren’t we all.

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Cuz we are living in a material world…and I am a material girl….sing with me now.

    Fess up Bearman. The reason you are greedier with time than with money is that you have no money…

    My worst sins are Lust, Gluttony and in a far third, Sloth

    1. Bearman Avatar

      Yeah but at least I could volunteer more or something.
