Description
My take on the original sin, for my printmaking class's sin-themed portfolio assignment. Basically we were told to make a print about sin, however we saw fit to interpret it.The idea for this print came to me in French class, when someone pointed out that the verb 'to sin' in French sounds the same as the word for peach tree. Not spelled the same though.
Dimensions are slightly under 15x24 inches, carved out of linoleum and printed on arches cover white paper.
This is a digital photograph of the print, fixed up in Photoshop.

So nice. I like that you made the tree smaller than Eve. Most folks would make it bigger...

Very nifty idea. I like how you drew Eve. Her pose and expression are really good.

That and peaches look like... well... cheeks! Sinful! 
Anecdote: I used to work at a jewish place, and when they made a book about Genesis, they specifically requested that the forbidden fruit NOT be illustrated as apples, but rather a nondescript fictional fruit because the Bible doesn't specify what fruit it is, and they say it being apples is a (the horror!) christian idea.

lol
the ended up being peaches because i was wracking my brain for ideas during french class, and we were discussing vocabulary, and someone asked about the verb "pΓ©cher" but another person heard the word "pΓͺcher" as in peach tree. Then i drew some peaches, and they looked like little butts, and i thought, clearly this was a much more appropriate fruit for sin than a plain old apple.
