An archive of 90s live music — rock, punk, and pop — presented as fine art photographic prints from the original negatives.
Toronto · Est. 1995
Aces Live
You know that rush. Ticket in your pocket, the room going dark, that first chord hitting you in the chest. Then seeing them live — a high that didn’t fade when you got home. Tired from dancing, throat raw from cheering, palms sore from clapping. A smile that stayed for days.
I’m Rob Dutchin — Aces Live. From 1995 to 2003 I shot live music on 35mm film from the pit and the side of the stage across the Toronto scene — The Warehouse, Air Canada Centre, the Opera House, Lee’s Palace — and festivals like Warped Tour, Edgefest, and Snowjam. Nights that still smell like smoke and beer. These days I work in commercial video; this site is that film archive, finally out of the binders.
The archive holds raw frames of Oasis, The Tragically Hip and Gord Downie, Blink‑182, Sum 41, Foo Fighters, Sick of It All, Social Distortion, Radiohead, Motörhead, and more punk and rock that came through town. Some of it showed up in Chart and Faze. Most of it lived in binders until now.
Today I make fine art prints from those originals (with an AR preview on your phone so you can see a piece on your wall first), curated collections for homes and commercial spaces, and the limited Rock Edition USPCC Bicycle decks — sixteen 90s faces printed from the negatives. The rush never left. It’s waiting at robdutchin.com.

Rock Edition Playing Cards
Casino-grade decks featuring sixteen 90s rock icons — every face printed from Rob’s original 35mm negatives. Ships sealed, or pick up in Toronto.
Build the next deck with me. Drag punk faces from the archive onto a Rock Edition–style uncut sheet — 52 cards + 2 jokers — then export your picks so I can review fan submissions. (Uses your existing images tagged Punk — no duplicate files.)
Bring the raw energy of rock and roll into your home, office, hotel, restaurant, or wherever you want the walls to hit different.
I curate collections of live music photography from my 35mm film archive — shot in the 90s and beyond. We can customize sizes from 11×14 through 16×20, 20×24, 20×30, 30×40, up to 40×60, and the number of prints can be whatever fits your space — no fixed minimum.
Each set is tailored to your vibe, your space, and your story. Whether you’re outfitting a condo lobby, a corporate office, or just your own walls, these prints turn any room into a venue.
Use AR to see the print on your wall, then book a consultation so we can lock size, frame, and matte together.
Shipping
Every fine art print is made to order — printed, matted, and framed with care after your consultation. Please allow about 1–2 weeks for production before shipping. Once your piece is on the way, you’ll get tracking so you can follow delivery.
We ship across Canada and the USA. Toronto pickup is also available — you still pay for the print; shipping is $0 on pickup orders.
Returns
Because each print is custom-made to your chosen size, frame, and matte, we’re unable to accept returns or exchanges once production has started. All custom print sales are final.
If your artwork arrives damaged or in less than perfect condition, contact us right away with photos of the packaging and any visible damage. We’ll work quickly to repair or replace the piece.
Sizes below are starting points for archival fine art prints. Final framed outer dimensions depend on mat width and frame profile — we’ll confirm exact measurements in your consultation.
11×14" — from $350
16×20" — from $550
20×24" — from $650

Orientation
Prints keep their original 35mm aspect — vertical or horizontal. Square shop cells show the full image either way; the finished piece matches the photo’s true orientation.
Printing
Aces Live prints are archival fine art reproductions from Rob Dutchin’s original 35mm film negatives and scans — live music photography from Toronto stages since 1995.
We print on heavyweight, acid-free artist paper with archival pigment inks so colour and detail stay rich for generations. Every piece is made to order after we confirm your preferences.
Framing
Custom framing is available through consultation. Typical options:
Hardwood frames — black, white, or natural
Metal frames — black or silver
Print only (no frame) if you prefer to frame yourself
Matte
Choose a small gallery matte (white, off-white/ivory, or black) or no matte for a full-bleed look. We’ll match frame + matte to the print and your room during the consultation.
