Metal Gods Series No.1- Eddie Van Halen- The Legend of '78

This is the first of my Metal Gods Art Series that I'm doing for fun. I'm a HUGE Van Halen fan. It's my first homage to the music that inspires me and keeps me positive! Eddie Van Halen changed the game in music and was my first influence into the world of Rock 'n' Roll. Thanks Eddie!

A little something for fun...
