Drunkard

The idea of this illustration is that the man was so drunk, he could not distinguished between a public telephone booth and an elevator. The classy couple were inspired by Fox Moulder and Dana Scully, homage to the X-Files. :D Below is the preliminary skecth.

Journey to Wisdom - Landscape version


This is a landscape version based on the preliminary sketch. The author who asked me to draw this wanted the wisdom path to be on the right and the road to folly going down to the left. In Chinese culture, right is better than left. I made the cave leading down to "death" looked like a face of an animal to represent greater danger that sometimes was not as obvious in life until it was too late.

Journey to Wisdom - preliminary sketch


Based on the book of Proverbs about choosing one's path carefully. The road to folly often looks better at the beginning but in the end it leads to death. Path to wisdom require works and discipline, but at the end the reward is eternal.

Proverbs 9:1-6 Invitations of Wisdom
1 Wisdom has built her house; she has hewn out its seven pillars. 2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her maids, and she calls from the highest point of the city. 4 "Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who lack judgment. 5 "Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. 6 Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of understanding.

Feast of Folly



Proverbs 9:13-17
13 The woman Folly is loud; she is undisciplined and without knowledge. 14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, 15 calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way. 16 "Let all who are simple come in here!" she says to those who lack judgment. 17 "Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!"

Proverbs 1:10-19 Warning Against Enticement


Proverbs 1:10-19
10 My son, if sinners entice you, do not give in to them. 11 If they say, "Come along with us; let's lie in wait for someone's blood, let's waylay some harmless soul; 12 let's swallow them alive, like the grave, and whole, like those who go down to the pit; 13 we will get all sorts of valuable things and fill our houses with plunder; 14 throw in your lot with us, and we will share a common purse"- 15 my son, do not go along with them, do not set foot on their paths; 16 for their feet rush into sin, they are swift to shed blood. 17 How useless to spread a net in full view of all the birds! 18 These men lie in wait for their own blood; they waylay only themselves! 19 Such is the end of all who go after ill-gotten gain; it takes away the lives of those who get it.

Proverbs 6:6-8; 24:30-34 Sluggard


I combined the 2 different passages of the proverbs into one picture so instead of making the lazy farmer sleeping, I posed him so that he is noticing the ants.

Proverbs 6:6-8
6 Go to the ant, you sluggard; consider its ways and be wise! 7 It has no commander, no overseer or ruler, 8 yet it stores its provisions in summer and gathers its food at harvest.

Proverbs 24:30-34
30 I went past the field of the sluggard, past the vineyard of the man who lacks judgment; 31 thorns had come up everywhere, the ground was covered with weeds, and the stone wall was in ruins. 32 I applied my heart to what I observed and learned a lesson from what I saw: 33 A little sleep, a little slumber, a little folding of the hands to rest- 34 and poverty will come on you like a bandit and scarcity like an armed man.

Proverbs 6:27-29 Infidelity
