I'm thrilled to announce that as of today, my painting of Metal musician Chuck Schuldiner of the band Death is licensed through Perseverance Holdings Ltd and approved by Chuck Schuldiner's Estate! In an arrangement with the Schuldiner Family and Perseverance Holdings Ltd., a portion of the proceeds of this product will be going to the Sweet Relief Musicians Fund, Huntington Beach, CA. This charity provides financial assistance to US musicians who become chronically ill with no medical insurance. Click here to order.

"Schuldiner was the singer, songwriter, rhythm and lead guitarist of the band Death, which he founded in 1983, initially under the name Mantas. He is often referred to as "The Father of Death Metal" and his obituary in the January 5, 2002 issue of UK's Kerrang! magazine stated that "Chuck Schuldiner was one of the most significant figures in the history of metal."Schuldiner himself was modest about his part in the history of death metal, noting "I don’t think I should take the credits for this death metal stuff. I’m just a guy from a band, and I think Death is a metal band."Schuldiner was ranked No.10 in Joel Mclver's book "The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists" in 2009 and No.20 in March 2004 Guitar World's "The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists" 


I originally created this painting as a birthday gift for my husband, Djerek, who is also a metal musician. Chuck Schuldiner is his most highly regarded and respected musical influence. The original hangs in Djerek's practice space.
