As I was thinking of how to draw gluttony, It dawned on me that in our society, gluttony is not about overeating. But it is about consumption. Everything is disposable now. Let’s say that you buy a brand new television set and you enjoy it more than a year then stops working. Do you take it in to get it repaired? No, it is not cost effective. The repair would be more than buying a new one. So the broken one goes to the landfill. I don’t have a solution for this scenario but the majority of us are guilty of the sin. The portrait is of a large person in the form of a pig. His jacket is plaid but the design is made up of phrases that illustrate a form of consumerism. Things like “Buy one – get one free” and other phrases to influence you to buy more even if you don’t need it. It is the idea that more is more and a must have. The danger of this kind of philosophy is that it reduces the value of things, making them commonplace and of little value.
