Description
A giant blank guitar pick in 2023 was obtained to be the canvas for a UK charity supporting blood cancer research “Pick Collectors Against Cancer”. In the hands of Derek Riggs, the artist behind Iron Maiden’s album cover’s distinctive look and signature character “Eddie”, the art (executed in pen ink on the plastic pick) for the limited run of guitar picks created a unique opportunity to get a Derek Riggs original on a most novel format, and all for a great charitable cause.

So happy to have been the winner in that charity auction! This giant pick is framed with a couple examples of the PCAC limited run of regular-sized picks. The thickness of the giant pick created the need to mount it using smaller clear picks, which I thought added to the overall presentation. Check out the extra images!

Up the Irons!

This rocks!  To the general public, Eddie is the mascot for all heavy metal!

That's really cool! Gotta be a first for CAF to see guitar pick art as a remarked item I'd imagine, and for a great cause.

Snorek and Bill talking about Iron Maiden on the last update, as well as the ongoing debate of the CAF Awards Category for waht should properly be considered "Other", prompted me to take it down off the wall this week and put it onto CAF for others to enjoy.
