1 CLUB by ROCK & POP ART by MARTIN SULLIVAN

2 MARTIN SULLIVAN These Fine Art Limited Edition prints are long term investments. Artwork that will decorate your home for years to come. This Rock & Pop Collection shows the faces behind the music we all grew up with. It brings back the past, freezes moments and emotions or helps to fix a broken heart. These painting should remind you that life is beautiful and there willl always be days to enjoy life and rock on! My life motto is «Discover something new every day». Mark Twain said: «Give every day the chance to become the most beautiful day of your life». Over the last 30 years I have developed my own style, combining traditional and modern techniques. Rich colors, lots of detail combined with the visualized texture of the brush on heavy canvas. I m glad to have had the opportunity to work in two different but beautiful places: Charleston, South Carolina and Lucerne which is an inspirational place, surrounded by majestic mountains and clear lakes in the heart of Switzerland. Hope you now enjoy the first two Club 27 fine art prints. Attending the School of Art in Bern at the age of 18 laid the foundation for his work. At the age of 20, a series was published by a leading publisher of which 30,000 copies have been sold worldwide. The wildlife paintings for the famous WWF stamps helped him gain international recognition He completed his probably best-known work in «Milestones of the Swiss Air Force» which was comissioned by Lucerne s Museum of Transport. The Red Bull paintings were exhibited around the world in Rio de Janeiro, San Francisco, Budapest, Perth, Barcelona, Abu Dhabi, Istanbul and Porto. With «Vision Blue Planet» works were created to support «green energy», a creative, inspirational contribution to our planet. His long-time idea to unite icons and idols of the music scene in a collection has become reality with this CLUB 27 Rock & Pop series.

3 CLUB by CLUB 27 The members of the world famous Forever 27 Club achieved so much in their lives - all of whom died tragically at the young age of 27. They were some of the most talented minds of their generation and made an enormous impact in their short lives. These are the musicians and artists who make up the 27 club. The Big Six are Brian Jones of the Rolling Stones, Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, Jim Morrison of the Doors, Kurt Cobain and Amy Winehouse. All were talented. All were taken from us at just 27 years of age. The «club» has been repeatedly cited in music magazines, journals and the daily press. Several exhibitions have been devoted to the idea; as well as novels, films and stage plays. As an artist and musician, it is a honor to paint these legends and icons on canvas. An impressive medium to introduce the faces behind their great music and art. I look forward to the great challenge to producing an impressive, though not final collection of art.

4 CLUB by JIMI HENDRIX On August 18, 1969, the legendary Jimi Hendrix stepped onto the stage at the Woodstock, N.Y. Music Festival and embarked upon an uninterrupted set lasting nearly two hours. It included the solo performance of the Star Spangled Banner that would become emblematic not only of Woodstock, but of the 1960 s themselves.

10 IF ONLY THE BEST IS GOOD ENOUGH Traditionally the making of limited edition prints is a time-consuming and demanding commitment between the artist, a printer and a publisher. The choice of image/images for the edition, choice of paper/canvas, accurate color correction, the size of the edition, the consistent quality of each print are all critical to the success and value of the edition. We are proud of the collaboration with our partners. Producing masterclass reproductions involves working with the best materials and a passionate, experienced team. It is very satifsying to know that, once perfection is achieved, this is precisely reproducable as often as required, whenever required.
