The red in his lips and the shadows around his eyes are so vivid it feels like you’re standing in that backstage corridor with him. The print quality holds up even up close, and it’s easily the most striking piece in my living room.

I hung this next to my desk and the lighting in the portrait captures his intensity perfectly—the paper has a matte finish that reduces glare. You can almost feel the backstage energy from that 1985 show.

The color on this print is way richer than I expected for a 1985 shot — the red of his lips and that messy hair really pop against the dark backstage background. It's hanging in my office now and every Cure fan who walks in stops dead. Shipped flat and arrived without a single bent corner.
