The Wind Demon

This beautiful work of art is both a tattoo and a air brush piece. It is one of several gorgeous works that I found on a website. The artist, Darin Gonzales, creates and designs tattoos, air brush pictures for skateboards, stickers, paintings, T-shirt designs (which he sometimes sells to Hot Topic) and more! Currently, he has a subscription to DarkArtists.org, where most of his work can be found. I liked this one because Darin's "The Wind Demon" is derived from an old Celtic myth about storm winds and hurricanes. The Wind God was an evil god who could not die as long as the wind was blowing. The gods saw his malice, and banished him from their domain. When he died, the spring time was harmonious for humans. But when he was revived in the Fall when a foolsih God applied his powers to the wind instead of the clouds, he brought with him terrible storms in his wake. Eventually, a goddess struck him down with an object called the "Eye of Uhuriknak (Hurricane)", and cursed him. He can only live when the wind blows in a storm, but other than that, he slumbers in hell.
