Description 2D Forever

If you're looking at this thinking Harry Potter looks odd, then now is a good time to read up about John Lennon and The Beatles .

I've been told by a few people that everyone remembers where they were when they heard that John Lennon was shot. You may not agree with everything about The Beatles and John Lennon's opinions, but you have to admire what John Lennon tried to promote. Personally, I've always loved the simplistic message of Love & Peace, so I wanted to capture that here. That, and of course the slogan featured prominently in John Lennon's christmas song, "Happy Xmas (War is Over)".

Recently I've seen two John Lennon acts live, one on the anniversary of his birthday and then the other on the anniversary of his death. It's a bit strange, but Lennon has been stuck in my head since, so I felt the need to do this!

Hope you all had a great Christmas.

"A very merry Christmas,
and a happy New Year.
Let's hope it's a good one
without any fear."

I really like the slight cartoony angles in such a realistic picture. Composition is perfect too!
What tools did you use for this?

Actually, I had some Hideo Kojima joke in my backhead when I saw the thumbnail. XD (Hey, the message fits, too.)

Seriously, though, great artwork, you captured him wonderfrully.

Harry Potter, that's funny. No, war is over because he's dead.

A couple of years ago in high school the state police and a couple of bomb squad members were interrogating me and a few others for conspiracy to blow up our school. My amigo had his music plastered all over his myspace. It was pretty funny actually.

Oh well. Anyways thanks for taking the time to go through your comments and actually click links that people leave for you. Let alone read comments and reply to them. Then again when you're robbed as bad as you are on this site there are enough comments for you to read without stress.

Well keep on doing what you do. Keep making art you are VERY good at what you do. I can make that benefit you sometime in the near future. Keep that in mind, remember this name.

I remember when I was first introduced to his music. My social studies teacher played "Imagine" and man it just blew me away.

Very nice rendering.

Thanks Nice that it had an impact on you like that. I got into them because Ringo was the voice of Thomas the Tank Engine, so I followed the logical route from childrens TV to Beatles
