My thought process… What does Greed look like as a portrait? Is Greed in facial expressions? How do you convey Greed as an image? I struggled with these questions for a long time. I asked my friends for advice and got nothing usable. Then I remembered the phrase describing a task that is really easy. “taking candy from a baby.” I thought about what that would look like and began to draw. It had to have a child in tears in distress. And the person taking the candy had to be much older than the child .He would know better known that it was horribly immoral. I drew the man turning away with a lollipop and just for good measure I gave him three hands. I was surprised at how many comments I received. “Did you know he has three hands?” I always answered, “I know the man has three hands.” Why do you think he has three hands? Most people didn’t know. I always replied “Because two were not enough.”
