Okay, so like everyone else, I'm caught up in Beatlemania for the new millennium, as our digital age creates its version of screaming teens in flips and French twists by remastering the entire canon, as well as releasing the Fab Four on Rock Band. We're all metaphorically clutching our tear-stained cheeks as we again listen to to the falsetto "ooo's" and "yeah yeah yeah's" in pristine new digital stero and mono versions (or will be, in my case, as I eagerly await my stereo box set from Amazon), painstakingly fussed over for four years by Abbey Road studios' master engineers. One could base a marriage on the correct answer to the question, "What's your favorite Beatles album?" Mine is probably "Abbey Road," although "Revolver" and the White Album compete for the top spot depending...
Coincidentally, I had been working on a series of very stylized portraits of famous 4's, which has taken the form of musicians so far. Above is the first in the series, of the moptops from Liverpool. I've also done one of the Stones; four 70s glam rockers; and 4 Supreme Court justices (although that will have to be redone, as I included Souter before news of his retirement). I'll post others here from time to time.
