The Ten Commandments in Road Sign Pictograms

By Alex in Art, Religion on Aug 4, 2008 at 2:31 pm

Artist Deborah Grumet of the ABCs of Art took the Ten Commandments and illustrated them in the style of road sign pictograms!

This one to the left is the Sixth Commandment: "You shall not murder." Can you guess the inspiration for this particular sign?

    My interpretation, if I didn’t know what the commandments are supposed to be:
    1. No religious artwork.
    2. No primetime TV and no sex with cattle.
    3. Women can’t swear.
    4. TV is fine, but don’t dig in the sun.
    5. No single moms.
    6. No tools.
    7. No threesomes.
    8. If you rob a bank, you cannot do it in multiples of three.
    9. No talking about cattle.
    10. iPhones suck.

    Also for Commandment #6: I guess rope, lead pipe, and knife murders are okay.

    8. If you rob a bank, you cannot do it in multiples of three.

    I agree. We have to respect the holy trinity.
