A laser, if we are talking about the same thing.

Looking about 9:40 on this video, the bright orange symbol inside the pyramid. Almost looks like a mask? Is that painted on with lasers?

I really love the asthetics in the presentation of Descending, the whole lighting/video/laser team has done a great job!

I saw a post somewhere else that guessed it was part of their new logo. Probably bullshit though.

One of a kind Tool related memorabilia for sure. I don't know anything about pricing art, but these don't sound too unreasonable...considering what those signed/doodled posters have been going for. I do like that Oko one.

I imagine if it was art from any of the guys in the band they'd definitely sell.

Did Adam ever sell canvas prints of his art through ToolArmy? I imagine those would have gone for a lot of money.

yes he did. i think they went for around $100? they were the skulls mentioned in the article. havent really seen resold since they were released. i know they were hand numbered, but im not sure if they were signed or not.

The image hellboy is asking about looks like a drum kit to me with a mirror image. The bottom looks like the kick drum from a side angle and the symbals on top.

If I'm remembering correctly, that glowing orange thing is a close up of one of the internal parts of one of the lasers (YAG crystal?). It's meant to be energizing right before the actual laser shoots out of the pyramid. A version of it has been there since they started playing the "teaser" of "A/Descending" some time ago (whatever year that was). Back then, the laser shot through a hole in the video wall behind the star, and now it comes out of the gaps.
The image is either mirrored or prism'd to multiply it (I'd have to ask Breck, since he shot/made it), which is probably why it looks like a mask.

Edit: an earlier version of the content can be seen here -

And just like that, yes they did.

*Not sure if these are canvas prints or just framed posters. Either way, still cool.

No idea. Could be a local/festival stagehand? Don't recall seeing that.

unless that owner got them to sign after the fact, i know the canvas did not come like that. i would assume that is a poster? doodle is pretty rad

From Blair's post on December 4, 2014:

LIMITED EDITION custom FRAMED TOOL WALL ART PIECE. HAND NUMBERED and SIGNED by ALL FOUR MEMBERS of the band, these pine WOOD frames (measuring 18" X 24") come in your choice of a MATTE BLACK FINISH or GLOSS BLACK FINISH. Strictly LIMITED TO ONLY 50 PIECES, the frames come READY TO HANG, thereby replacing more traditional forms of wall art. $250.00

Looks like Adam added doodles to a couple of them though.
