Beatlemania | Jeff Victor

We can't possibly pay tribute to The Beatles without showing some love to the swarms of hysterical fan girls who fueled the Beatlemania era with their faints, screams and sobs. This hilarious submission depicting a group of Beatlemania girls comes from Nickelodeon Games Character Designer, Jeff Victor. 

While Jeff's piece may seem absolutely comical, it is actually quite spot-on. Here are a few real life fan girls causing mayhem at various Beatles concerts between 1963-1965:









 Ah, to be a Beatles fan in the 60's. Can you imagine the hysteria?

A Day In The Life | John Malloy

Exhibiting artist John Malloy was kind enough to indulge us with this preview of his tribute to the Beatles' iconic "A Day In The Life". This song is one of the most memorable pieces recorded by the group and was also probably the most lavish. The song contains a performance by a 41-piece orchestra and was created by merging two songs written by John and Paul separately. 

We adore Malloy's brilliantly colored and masterfully lined depiction of Lennon breathing those unforgettable words, "Oh, boy", as he witnesses haunting world news. Lennon always said that reading two tragic articles in a morning newspaper inspired his part of the song.


Be sure to check back soon! :) We'll be posting some exciting opening reception details and of course more great artist submissions!

A Colorful Rhapsody | Jocelyn Liang

A new submission this week from Jocelyn Liang, who chose to pay tribute to the band's unforgettable fashion sense. Gotta love George's citrus pants! While the group's timeless sound will be celebrated forever, they also left their footprint on the fashion world. From matching haircuts and clean-cut suits to neon paisley and ungroomed facial hair, The Beatles consistently embraced reinvention. 

FUN FACT: George Harrisson gave a fun nickname to the band's matching "mop tops"; Arthur. George also once mentioned that the group was often asked more questions about their hair than their music. 

 




More submissions to come very soon! :)
