Between 1961 and 1983 Ottis Toole and his lover Henry Lee Lucas are thought to have killed up to 65 people. Toole confessed to many murders however the police believe most of these confessions to be false. What is true however is that Toole was a serial arsonist, killer and rapist who also practiced cannibalism. He was sentenced to death but had this sentence commuted to a life sentence. Toole died in prison in 1996.
While he was definitely not what most people would consider to be a skilled artist, Toole created a few artworks during his sentence. His pictures are all of faces, each with what appears to be wild, wiry hair surrounding them. One of these faces seems to be that of devil, completed with horns and blood running out of his mouth.
