week nine: seven deadly sins

Wrath:
noun   /rath/
angry, violent, or stern indignation


Envy:
noun       /envee/
a feeling of discontent or covetousness with regard toanother's advantages, success, possessions, etc.

My definition of envy is when you find something about someone that you admire and want, and then you let it flood your mind to the point that it's always in the back of your mind. That's what I tried to illustrate here.


Gluttony:
noun   /gluht-n-ee/
excessive eating and drinking


Greed:
noun   /greed/
excessive or rapacious desire, especially for wealth orpossessions.


Lust:
noun  /luhst/
a passionate or overmastering desire or craving

Lust was by far the hardest one for me and my least favorite now that they're all done. I wanted to illustrate an overwhelming desire for whatever is the object of the lust (sex, power, etc.) in any form.


Pride:
noun   /prahyd/
a high or inordinate opinion of one's own dignity,importance, merit, or superiority, whether as cherished in the mind or as displayed in bearing, conduct, etc.


Sloth:
noun   /slawth/
habitual disinclination to exertion; indolence; laziness. 

Yes, there's no O. Yes, that was on purpose. This is the laziest spelling of sloth.


PS: These all look way better if you click on them for a full view. Especially Greed.
