As an unrepentant electrical engineer one of my favorite images is one I've seen a few times of Maxwell's equations and a demon whipping away at a classroom of disheveled engineering students as they toil away. I can't find it online though, what I'm really after is either a ready made t-shirt or a high enough resolution version that I can get put on a t-shirt.

In religious iconography, there are standardized symbols to depict "holiness" in figures--haloes, rays, flames, those little horns on Moses's forehead, etc. Are there equivalent "anti-haloes" for demonic/unholy icons? Any links to examples would be appreciated. Non-western examples welcome.
