Illustrators throughout history have been fascinated by Christianity’s  Seven Deadly Sins. Jacques Callot created an especially interesting set of drawing that would make excellent trading cards.  Although, if I had depicted the majority of sins as female I would have made the effort to make Ira – Wrath a woman as well.

Luxuria – Lust

Invidia – Jealousy

Avaritia – Greed

Gula – Gluttony

Pigritia – Laziness, Sloth

Ira – Wrath

Superbia – Vanity

the sandman greeting card

For the very first post I thought I would share a greeting card.   This is Witches Sabbath by Michael Heer.

The inscription -

With tunes of fiddles and the flames of candles,

Hope you to chase the nightmare far apart,

Or with a flood of orgies, feasts, and scandals

To quench the bell that’s lighted in your heart?

- Charles Baudelaire Danse Macabre
