I am trying to do both subject this week… Gluttony (Second of the 7 deadly sins illustration, after “Lust”) from Obsession Collage collective, and the IF theme this week is: Obsession. So all I had in mind was the rage about hot-dog contests. I remembered seeing some of these contest on TV… I did not know how many they could eat, so I searched on Wiki. So… (rolling drum)… 69 hot-dogs (in 10 minutes). I know, scary… Ok it’s a contest and all, but still. To me it really represent gluttony. I also would like to keep that same carnival-esque feeling for all 7 deadly sins.

Je tente de faire un deux pour un cette semaine, en illustrant la gourmandise (un des 7 péchés capitaux, je suis maintenant à 2 avec la “Luxure”), une idée de Obsession Collage Collective. Ainsi que (justement) le thème de cette semaine sur Illustration Friday: Obsession. C’est moi ou il se passe de quoi avec ces fameux concours de hot-dogs? Hallucinant de penser que quelqu’un puisse avaler 69 hot-dogs (j’ai vu sur Wiki!) en 10 minutes. Bref c’est plus que de la gourmandise, j’irais plus avec l’appellation “gloutonnerie”. J’ai aussi pensé garder le petit côté “carnavalesque” pour chacun des 7 péchés capitaux… j’ai hâte au prochain péché!! hihihi
I will go visit your website now!! I miss checking other websites of illustrators, too!! hehe

I dislike eating contests too. For someone to shove as much fodder into their gullet as they can … well, I really don’t see the point. You’ve done a great job with the carnival look and I love the hot dogs going down that huge funnel!
This is fantastic!!! This is a sum total of gluttony! More then you can chew, literally.
Nice job!

Thanks Melanie and Dian!! Yes, gluttony is a strange thing!! Glad you like it! :–)
Wonderful take on theme
eye candy ! i like your work very much
Wow. Brilliant! Love the funnel idea!
Hi Isabelle. This is a fantastic piece, you really nailed it with your approach! Great collage style, there’s an interesting twist in each one of your work.
Love this!!! I don’t even think I could eat one hotdog let alone 69, gross.
This is awesome!! Great idea and great illustration, as always
BRILLIANT!!!
oh as beautiful as its representative of the seven sins, ahh just love the movement and the horrifying thought of those hot dogs sliding down a throat. I hope he uses plenty of tomato sauace or something!
Now envy jealousy malice and pride? They never mentioned lust at Sunday school. I missed that one….
Thank you for all the wonderful comments! Andrew, yeah, horrifying is the right word when thinking about hot dogs sliding (yak) down a throat! Well no, actually these are plain hot-dogs, no tomato sauce… I know, I am telling an horror story here!! hehehe… and yes, missing sins are: Envy, Anger, pride, sloth (what is that anyway?) and… greed I think. Where did Jealousy went? I don’t know… Maybe it’s not as “deadly” as other sins. As for the “Lust” one, my guess is.. they found it difficult to explain, when you were at Sunday school… hehehe
Wonderful job! Great idea, and so well-executed.
I love this one, Isabelle, I saw these hotdogs contests too, really amazing and a bit disgusting, but your illustration is funny and theatrical, his belly still can grow
I love your creation for this challenge! The funnel was a brilliant idea indeed! Too cute! =)
painful and funny at once.
Carnival mit Deadly sins… I can’t wait to see your Envy; seems the most difficult, and subtle.

There’s a fine line between gluttony and respecting a good hotdog
