Not many people can say theyve shared a stage with Tony at a live event !
I made this artwork for Geezer as his Christmas gift in 2010 , it was posted on his official website for a brief time along with one of his personal pictures cheering Aston Villa after The Carling cup final in 2010 and which Aston Villa lost to Manchester United 0-1. It jokingly has Geezer saying 'If It wasn't for booze, women and Black Sabbath, I would have been a player in Aston Villa.' !

'It really is thee metal god, ask him for an autograph'. 'Is it rainin' in Dudlaaaay', the leather Lord replied.
I created this artwork for Geezer Butler and had it printed out on a custom shirt as a special gift for my all time bass hero in Christmas 2011 , obviously everyone knows how Geezer tends to be one of Aston Villa's biggest cheering fans , I jokingly had Geezer quoted " If it wasn't for Tony , Bill and Ozzy , I would have named Black Sabbath the Aston Villians !" I added his Ampeg bass amp along with one of his new custom Yamaha bass guitars that I saw him use on Heaven & Hell's Ronnie James Dio tribute show at London's High Voltage festival on 24/07/2011. If a high quality resolution of this artwork needed to any 'Home of Metal' project I will be more than pleased to send it over.
Artwork for Geezer Butler made by a friend and which I got to get Geezer sign in person backstage at London's Wembley Arena on 10/11/2007 after I was solely taken by the band management to Iommi's and Geezer's private bus.
This a drawing of Jhon Bonham that I made as a tribute to him and to the music that he gave to us all.

Me, Tony, Brum Town Hall, Top night!
In 1980 the Birmingham Mail ran a story about the zine Nic and Miles made when they were 12 years old, Antisocial zine. This is the original photograph that was used with that story.
I made this modified Heaven & Hell artwork specifically to be presented to the band as gifts during backstage at London's wembley arena on 10/11/2007 , I was solely taken after their show to Iommi's & Geezer's private bus to present them these framed artworks while Ronnie James Dio was later so overwhelmed with the sarcastic artwork backstage that I was told he kept telling everyone about it for a whole week after ! Ronnie couldn't help himself laughing at Iommi's smoking angel.
I remember on my many pilgramages to yaah dudes skate shops to pick up a set of screaming wheels or a new set of vans boot before hitting Birmingham wheels skate park Shane would be in the shop. It was a few years later I would recognise him again again thrashin the bass in the institute with Barney as nalpalm death. These guys are true legends. Never did find out if Barney did skate?
