From the last time my partner and I spoke to him, absolutely not.

Coming from a point of view that views all energies classified as demonic as being hideous, then I would say it is possible that it could be him.. As what they believe him to look like(the person who created the pic.)

Personally I've never seen that image before and have no clue who is supposed to be that character.

As far as having fowl combined into the drawing...and a few other symbolisms, that would about the only comparison I would see...though I am far from an expert on these subjects.

I agree that it could possibly be..according to how the person doing the illustration saw it, but it is not symbolized as most see it.

that is not an image of Abraxas. It is the traditional representation of the philosopher s stone material in the form of an allegorical dragon. One head is mercury, one silver, snd one gold, that is Mercurius, Sol and Luna. It comes from a work by an italian alchemist called Giovanni Battista Nazari. here.
