    I didn’t realize when I was coming to this site that there would be explicit (gummy bear) ***. Perhaps you should warn people. Some of us surf at work, you know!

  2. Elliott Back says:

    I hope you are joking. Any artful representation of the 7 deadly sins is certainly safe for work, no matter how explicit it is. I think the current post on your blog is an indication you jest ;)

    Hey I love the pics they are so adorable!

  4. Ashley B. says:

    I love your interpretation of the 7 deadly sins. It’s so creative and beautifully photographed. Thanks for the smile at the beginning of my day.

  5. David says:

    This is really impressive work. I wonder if an animation of these 7 pics might work well.

    Gummi Bears depicting the 7 Deadly Sins…

    Elliott Back uses Gummi Bears to cleverly depict the 7 Deadly Sins. “Envy” shown here, and “Greed” are my favorites. Link (via Martin Klasch)……

    ‘released under license’?

    these days on the internet people are somehow genius if they arrainge food on their plate, or look into a sky and see horses in clouds.

    next time i draw ‘clean me’ in the dust on my car bumper i’ll photograph it and put it in my flicker stream to enlighten the art-hungry masses.

    woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo……….

    very cute!

  12. Alan Oz says:

    Sloth needs to be a little less squished looking, I assume you didn’t intend for him to be in pain. : |
    Very cute apart from that, I love envy. : )

  13. [...] Varför man tar kort på dessa och skapar en blog-post förundrar mig; men 7 Deadly Gummy Sins är ändå snygga som satan. [via BB] [...]

    elliottback! ur site made it on 9.yahoo.com!

    I thought it was kind of cute, in the gummy bear style…I mean, some down-to-earth and what some people call “realistic” people might not like it, but I enjoyed it, because it was humorous.

    The way the gummy bears were positioned very much represented the captions, and I think my favorite was probably pride and envy. They were so adorable (though envy might’ve looked evil to some people). :-)

  18. Diva says:

    Cute! This made my day. :)

  19. Andy Havens says:

    It would have been funnier if it had been real bears.

  22. [...] Hello foxy she-lady! It has been a while since our last talk and play. Please sit and we can talk about all the geek **** foreplay we always used to speak of. A little droopy? This will certainly pimp your ride. After our cigarettes we can get hitched in a church made for us while we gaze into our eyes living in our pretentious world, watching predictable movies of the heart. [...]

    omg, i found dis so funni

  25. [...] I’m writing this post on a Mac. I have no idea what kind of Mac. It’s got a picture of an apple on the front. I think they all do. The reason I’m writing it on a Mac is because my son takes a Saturday art class at CCAD, where I also teach a History of Advertising course one night a week. Since I’m on faculty, I figured out that I can log in on the Macs that the students use in the computer lab right next to where Dan’s class is. It’s a 2.5 hour class. So rather than drive the half-hour downtown, find something useless to do for 1.5 hours, and then turn around and come back… I can log onto a Mac and find something useless to do online. Like this.

    That was cute. I love gummy sin’s. lol

  27. sloth says:

    I like it a whole lot but aren’t greed and gluttony the same thing? Where is wrath?

  28. AS says:

    Sloth, greed is also known as avarice, and is not the same as gluttony. Wrath is referred to as anger in this representation. :)

  30. Maz says:

    what is a limited CC licence… does this licence allow for the use of these images in other medias (specifically ones that will be broadcast, like a different website, a blog, a book etc?)
