I think gang girls is a way better print, at half the edition (50 vs. 100) and $24 cheaper. But it depends what you like more i guess...girls or fish. meatloaf – i dont agree.

Unfortunately Iron Maiden incorporated gave him the heave-ho, and probably have "intellectual copyright" or some such nonsense going on their side, so Riggs has had to give up his little zombie bambino.... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Derek_Riggs "Iron Maiden's management came across the painting and realised it could be adapted for their own use. Asking for a new version with some added hair on the figure, they acquired their first cover for the debut Iron Maiden album, released in 1980. Riggs went on to work with Iron Maiden throughout the 1980s and into the 90s, creating many of their most famous album covers; his final artwork for Iron Maiden was the concept for their Brave New World album in 2000. After his concept art for "The Wicker Man" single was turned down he gave up designing for the band. He has since provided artwork for their new compilation of works from earlier in their career Somewhere Back in Time."
