About the Item

24" x 18" Limited Edition Giclee Numbered of 25 Hand Signed by John-Mark Gleadow 2023 24" x 18" Printers Proof Hand Signed by John-Mark Gleadow 2023 24" x 18" Artist Proof Numbered of 2 Hand Signed by John-Mark Gleadow 2023 My original vision for “The Day the Music Died” didn’t include Prince or David Bowie. I first had Michael Jackson in Prince’s place and Kurt Cobain in Bowie’s. While I was working on the painting, Prince passed away, so he replaced Michael Jackson. The reason Cobain was replaced, oddly enough, was because of his piercing blue eyes. While he remained in the original, all of the viewer’s attention would go to his portrait, and it was just too strong for the piece. I loved the portrait of him so much, though, he had to have his own original. It was difficult sanding Kurt off of “The Day the Music Died” but I was more than happy to feature him solo.

24" x 24" Limited Edition Giclee Numbered of 35 Hand Signed by John-Mark Gleadow 2023 24" x 24" Printers Proof Hand Signed by John-Mark Gleadow 2023 24" x 24" Artist Proof Numbered of 4 Hand Signed by John-Mark Gleadow 2023 The genesis of “Prince” came from a collector who had seen “The Day the Music Died”. As an avid Prince fan, he wanted this homage to him for his home. He had been especially dazzled during a concert when Prince performed at the piano and wanted to capture that moment. Purple Rain is his favorite album and loved how I handled it in “The Day the Music Died” so he wanted it reproduced in the same place – on the left – in his original. A book about Prince’s band rounded out the collector’s vision, and he chose the specific image for the Prince and the Revolution...
