Description
Title: When We Were FabSubject: The Beatles
Media: Drawn in openCanvas, retraced in Illustrator, and colored in openCanvas and Photoshop.
About: This piece is all four of my most recent Beatles drawings put together. The compilation is done to reflect, or perhaps even parody, the Beatles album Let It Be ([link] ). You've probably noticed that the borrowed background has been removed from these images and they have been replaced with blue/white gradients (for John, Ringo and George) and a red/grey gradiant (for Paul). Again, this was done to mirror the Let It Be album.
OtherThe title of the piece is inspired by the George Harrison song, When We Was Fab. In loving memory of George Harrison, February 25, 1943 – November 29, 2001.

Back then long time ago when grass was green
Woke up in a daze
Arrived like stangers in the night
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - back when income tax was all we had
Caresses fleeced you in the morning light
Casualties at dawn
And we did it all
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - you are my world you are my only love
And while youre in this world
The fuzz gonna come and claim you
But you mo better wise
When the buzz gonna come and take you away
Take you away
Take you away
The microscopes that magnified the tears
Studied warts and all
Still the life flows on and on
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - but its all over now baby blue
Fab - long time ago when we was fab
Fab - like this pullover you sent to me
Fab
And youve really got a hold me
Fab - long time ago when we was fab

I really like this, it's a cool combination. I like how it echoes Let It Be. I'm really enthralled by the coloring, especially on the hair.
