"Club Papiros: Acapulco branch, '86.
Lush tunes from a soon-to-be-disbanded band. This near-perfect April evening in 1986 sadly marked the very last time Wham performed at Club Papiros. Many might lean towards 'The Final,' their farewell concert at Wembley in June of the same year as the band's best, but those who were here that April evening know better. Also, take note of the serving trays and the waitstaff's technique. Club Papiros was extreme in recruiting and training waiters and staff. The industry standard-bearer. Their little manual is still studied to this day by leading players."

Maximus Emrat Dørje (b. 2009) from Sarpsborg. Max lives in Sarpsborg and attends Grålum Ungdomskole. He frequents Soli Brug a lot and often draws inspiration from artists exhibiting there, especially perhaps from Pushwagner, Guttestreker, and Johan Reisang, but also from many travels around the world. He always carries his sketchbook with him. Maximus has created his own little universe centered around "Club Papiros," a fictional American club concept from the 1980s. Maximus works with pencil, pen, and ink, which then becomes digital prints (DGA), both in small and large formats. At the age of 14, he has already sold over 200 pieces, and he is determined to continue pursuing his art.
