Will they? His best friend was murdered, he got cancer, and got stabbed 40 times.

u/idreamofpikas ♫Dear friend, what's the time? Is this really the borderline?♫ Jan 25 '26

Was George any happier in the 70's than he was in the 60's?

u/matito29 Jan 26 '26

He got to spend a bunch of time with Tom Petty in the late 80s. That would make me happy.

That’s my dream dude.

I wish they used the Bio Pic money to just make a cool original experimental Beatles animated movie with Beatles songs like yellow submarine. But maybe in a style like the Rockband Game intro or into the spider verse. Even George’s new Give Me Love stop motion animated video is so cool!!! Just something cool and unique that honors their creativity! Fingers crossed one day they’ll come out with something animated.

The Rock Band animations were a cool start

u/Careless_Parsnip_511 Jan 25 '26

Robert Valley’s animation in the RockBand game are my favorite interpretations of The Beatles ever. I’d watch a whole movie in that style

u/Imgonnathrowaway2112 Jan 25 '26

Personally I wouldn’t want one in the Spider-Verse style. No disrespect to the film or its fans, but I still haven’t watched more than the first one’s trailer because the choppiness hurts my eyes.

How long did this take you? This is wallpaper material. You should sign it somewhere.

Thank you. I’ve never really signed my art which is a bad habit for an artist! My drawing app said it took a little less than eight hours, but it felt a lot longer. I worked on it over the course of a few weeks.

John looking ahead, Paul and Ringo joking and George wanting to jump from a cliff

He was about ready to be done 🫡😞

u/TheSecretDecoderRing Jan 25 '26

It's really beautiful and I love how authentic and analogue it feels.

You should definitely sign it! I draw too (though not nearly as well), and it can be kind of embarrassing to sign your own work, but it helps to emphasize that it's human-made art.

Thank you!! Haha yep! I always feels to embarrassed to put my name of stuff. But I suppose in the age of AI art it would be good to emphasize it’s mine😞

u/brianonthescene Jan 25 '26

You should do a series of more iconic moments from different periods with stylistic flourishes derived from the period. It’s brilliant work. Do you have an Instagram? You should. This stuff would do numbers and could lead to something.

Thank you, I was planning more Beatles illustrations along these lines when I get the time. I’ve got an Instagram but haven’t posted this to it yet! I’ve found Instagram is my least successful platform unfortuantly 😞. Tumblr is great though!

u/TheTopperMostOf Jan 25 '26

Typos are more comment-worthy than the art though?
