Pushead (b.Brian Schroeder) is an American artist within the hardcore punk & heavy metal cultures, who famously features detailed images of gruesome & weathered skulls & skeletons in his work. He has created artwork for many bands, artists & athletes including Mötley Crüe. In '91 he designed & illustrated sticker card "inserts" for the RockCards series of heavy metal & hard rock trading card released by Brockum. At the time, the controversial imagery of his BALL AND CHAIN titled artwork for Mötley Crüe resulted in this sticker card being withdrawn/recalled early in it's production run & has since become a rare & coveted "chase" card by collectors.
