Being an artist is the smallest part of my small list of talents. When I was young I use to draw pictures during school. I never took any formal classes. My mother has a background in art, and I still remember some of the things i had learned from her. The two paintings below are really the only drawings I decided to put to canvas. Before three years ago, I had never painted a thing. I do have a couple more pictures from my childhood I'd like to put to canvas, but time and money are something I don't have a lot of.
I can easily duplicate either of the two paintings below. I am at 20x15, selling duplicates for $50 unframed, $175 framed. Some day I'll learn how to do my own framing. The cheapest frame I can get runs about $100 - $150. These duplicates are canvas painted by hand.

I am a metal-head at heart. I just like the sound. I remember people talking about the hand gesture of first and little finger up being a devil sign. Only recently did I find out where Ronnie James Dio came across the sign. It was a sign he picked up from his grandmother to ward of evil, not embrace it.
So, I took off with the idea of people thinking it was a devil's sign, and put it in that text. The evil hand is bursting from the ground with a pair of evil eyes over looking the hands rising. for the heck of it, I put four celestial bodies. A moon, a bright planet, a ringed planet, and a comet in the sky. I had a hard time put in a star field. It didn't look right to just haphazardly put in white dots. Then I got an idea; each of the clusters of stars are of each of the zodiac formations. I didn't like the painting being too evil, so I added four stars with a bright one in the middle; the four stars form a cross (right-side up).
