Geezer Butler Artwork Signed
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.
Judas Priest Mini room
I honestly did not know in which category I should put this, but I wanted to share with you this model of a 3D mini room that I made using the cover of all Judas Priest albums in different ways. There are poster, mini records, the pillow and the cover of the bed of the room; I also made a model doll of me wearing a British Steel shirt. There is also a Ram it down wall watch, and many other things in the room. Hope you like it. I made it about 2 years ago. \m/

Black Sabbath Heaven & Hell Artwork
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.

Tony Iommi Cartoon Artwork # 2
I made this artwork in 2011 celebrating Iommi's forthcoming autobiography book entitled 'Iron man : My Life with Black Sabbath & Beyond'. The artwork simply presents Iommi's through different eras and decades with Sabbath , he is shown in the early days with his famous Gibson 'Monkey' SG , while the later years shown with his Jaydee 'Old Boy' custom guitar. 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.
