       Here are a few pieces that stuck out to me when I was researching the sins. They helped give me some good ideas on how to represent them and different types of imagery that I had not thought of yet. Also whole new ideas to try for a piece. I'll be looking at more work while I'm making the pieces. I also plan to watch the movie Seven to help get a better visual on representations of each sin.

Albrecht Durer- St Michaels Fight Against The Dragon 

     I like the over all feel of this piece. I like the imagery of the angel, and just the overall feel of this piece. I like the way that the many thin lines give the piece an eerie feel. I like that a lot of his work feels like this and I could gather a lot of inspiration for imagery from many of his pieces.

7 Deadly Sins Americas Next Top Model

   I like the depiction of each of the sins in one image. I also like the symbolism of the women in the caskets, signifying that they're possibly in there because of the sin. I like this piece, but would like to keep away from such an energetic feel (depending on the 'sin').

Goyas Disasters of War etchings

   I've looked at a lot of his etchings and I def. do like them, and will be looking at them more if I start to run dry on ideas for imagery and symbolism.

Hieronymus Bosch 7 Deadly Sins

         I looked at a lot of Bosch's work tonight, and I really like the over all feel of most of his pieces as well as the way hes portrayed many of the moral messages that he is representing in his work.

Caravaggio- Doubting Thomas

     I like the grotesqueness of this image for the project. At first glance it seems as though theres nothing ascu, but upon further investigation you see that a man is sticking his finger inside a wound on another mans mid section. It looks so realistic that it makes me a little uncomfortable looking at it, b/c it makes me think of a person really sticking their finger in anothers wound. 

Fuseli- The Nightmare

         I really like a lot of Fuselis pieces. I think that these could really help me think of new ways to represent the sins. 

     I couldnt find an artist for this piece, but I love it. This piece makes me want to take an abstract approach to each of this sins, but I'm afraid that might lead me to making more of an 'ad' to represent each sin. I do really like this piece though.

       This piece makes me feel extremely uncomfortable to look at. It just looks so gross and unapealing that it actually draws you in with that. This, I think, is exactly what I imagined when I thought of gluttony. Imagine this face on a big fat sweaty body sitting at a kitchen table with tons of gross food in front of it. Just foul.

Pieter Bruegel The Elder 7 Deadly Sins

     This is one in Bruegels series that he did based on the sins. I like the way he executed this series and I think that this might be an approach that I might like to take on some of the pieces. (Having more of a collage of a lot of different things happening but each individually representing the sin that the piece is based on. This would most likely done in photoshop and illustrator rather than by hand.)

Guiseppe Acrimboldo- Summer

          I LOVE his use of many different objects collaged together to create a single piece. I think I would def. like to try my hand at something like this. I just really really like it.
