Artist's Comments

Holy crap. I couldn't be happier with the way this turned out.

Here's my recreation of The Beatles' album cover for Abbey Road. From left to right, George Harrison, Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and John Lennon.

Inspired by two books I'm currently reading (John, by Cynthia Lennon and The Beatles, by Bob Spitz)
Also as tribute to the beautiful painting of the Abbey Road on the wall in front of Mr. Hoare's room. It was one of my favourite things at school and they painted over half of it with white without Hoare or B's permission. It was amazing.

If you didn't know, this is one of the albums that supposedly hinted at Paul McCartney's death (Which I personally think is a big load of crap). Anyways, the way it works is this...

John Lennon = Priest/God
Ringo Starr = Palbearer
Paul McCartney = Corpse (notice how he's walking out of step with no shoes and has a cigarette in his hand?)
George Harrison = Gravedigger

I've hidden 3 things in this picture. One is my name, and the other two are little dedications. Have fun looking for them.

oooo weee that is AWESOME :D. good work !! The trees look pretty shnazzyyy
:iconloca-arabiana:
pssssst i found your name in the plate ;d
:iconburnttoad:
Did you find the dedications? :P
:iconleafchick:
I KNOW WHERE THE DEDICATIONS ARE :D. bu tthats only because ive been bugging you for like an hour to get it done. Anyways, all i can say is that it is super duper amazing/. but, i think on the cover of the real abbey road album, there are only three beatle cars, hinting towaards the 'death' of paul mccartney.. (i cant tell if the one behind the first car in the real album cover is a beatle or not).. if there are, i think i may have found another coincidence. Upsetting that you didnt put the picture of me waving a leafs flag, but you know what.. you did the beatles, which is good enough as it is.

I also didn't know you actually read. Given, all you ever seem to read is biographies about famous musicians, but hey, thats ok..

anyways, i gotta go. abbey road is awesome, and im gonna visit it one day.
:iconleafchick:
P.S. I decided that when i marry a guy his last name has to start with either an 'a' so that my first initial can blend in with my second (because i can make my s's look like a's, or his last name has to be starr. because that would be the coolest name ever.. the names starr. samantha starr. Has a little ring to it, does it not.

P.P.S. I also think that Ringo Starr should dress up as a raccoon for next hallowe'en.
:iconwatchlauradance:
eww that guys not wearing shoes hes gunna get herpes. i dont appreiciate that beatles but the pictures is OH SO cute. and isnt paul mcCartney the only one still alive?? ironic
:iconburnttoad:
Yeah, I know there are a bunch of different cars that aren't Beetles on the real cover but I'm lazy. Give me a break.

And yes, I do read. I just don't read a lot and most of the time I only read Biographies because I love my music and therefore I love my musicians. I also read a lot of crap on the side on the intarweb but not so much anything in book form
:iconburnttoad:
Starr is a great last name. It's a one way ticket to porn stardom. Sweet deal.
:iconburnttoad:
Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr are both still alive.

There was a time when Paul was rumored to be dead though... some say he still is and the Paul McCartney that we know today is really a man named William Campbell.
:iconleafchick:
Listen.. it wont be a porn star name. It just would make a great signature.. and it would be super cool. so give it a break. and plus i was reading the comments left on the magneto page.. i still have days without coke.. many more than i used to have, so give me some credit. i don't know about laura, but you guys are supposed to help me with my coke addiction
