At Death's Door

My first painting for Roadrunner Records. made in Early July 1990
For the compilation: At Death's Door.

Monte Conner From the label had asked me to come up with something for this release.
I got the idea by just thinking of the simple fact that it was a Death Metal compilation of bands. 'Death's Door' came to me as a title and became the visual concept. With the door ellement representing the entry into the music genre for the newcomer. It's a very simple visual idea, but also worked well I think.
