The Fantastic 7 (deadly Sins)

I have submitted this painting to this art contest : 7 Sins Contest

7 Sins Contest is an international competition that will take place through the website aimed at artists of all disciplines (graffiti, painting, graphic design, photography, etc..) with the main objective of capturing these old clichés in a visual way and therefore exposing the mentality changes that have taken place over the last twenty centuries of history.

I have chosen to depict the 7 sins in one single painting, each character embodying a specific sin :
LUST, GLUTTONY, GREED, SLOTH, WRATH, ENVY and PRIDE.
I have self-portrayed myself as WRATH, which sounds logical as this painting is a kind of guerrilla artwork made by a pissed off artist! ;)
